Does Anyone know where I can get Fender flares

I'm looking to do some custom body work on the rear fenders to give it a widebody look but only in the back. Similiar to the Banzai RX-7 but without the rivets going around the top of the flare. More of a mold in type since I'm getting the car repainted anyway. Thanks in advance for any info/links you guys can give.

I wanted to know this myself... Somebody should make Banzai style fender flares... RE makes side skirts that turn into fender flares but I don't want the extra weight added with side skirts.

you could mold the banzai widebody onto your car, or mold all the rivets and seams.

Most... I'd say 6-7 lbs each...

You could use the mazdaspeed 15th anniversary kit and just stick on the side skirts and the rear fender flares. That would look decent. You need the sideskirts though because if you just went with the fender flares it would look gross. Those flare out a good 2 or 3 inches and you can get some wide *** rear tires to go along with it.
