+1

I've seen them around, but they seem expensive.

Hawks charges $45 each second hand:

No repros. Also bear in mind that those inner fender liners were changed over the years. So you need to try to find them for your year car. They are also specific to the Camaro and Firebird models as the wheel arches are a different shape in each car.

Re: Where to find new wheel well plastics?

I was really asking the OP for info on his car because he has no info listed.

Its a 1985 Camaro IROC. Cutting out of plastic wouldnt look very clean when it was done or else I'd do it.
