Re: Inner wheel wells..

I don't know of any aftermarket company that produces them.....I went a set of new GM splash shields for $175.00.....you could probably get a descent used set for like 40 bucks....

Re: Inner wheel wells..

just fabricate them. if you still have them on the car you can take them off and make a pattern off of them and cut any material you want. be sure to save the pattern. i make a pattern out of clean butcher paper and put it into a roll up mailing tube. maybe you can make copies of the pattern and sell them for a few bucks.
i think they use rivits to install them and they can be gotten at any well stocked hardware store.
good luck.

Re: Inner wheel wells..

Just to be clear in refering to the actual inner wheel wells in the rear of the car. They are metal and welded in. I'm not talking about the plastic spash sheilds, sorry for the confusion. I'm just wondering if anyone actually makes them or if I'm going to have to cut them out of a donor car..

On a uni-body I would advise finding a new shell if your rear inners are toast.

Re: Inner wheel wells..

Have you checked on Classic Industries or National Parts Depot ? I know they have them for 2nd Gen, but I've never looked for 3rd Gens.
If they don't have it, I think you best bet would be a donor car...
