Someone will jump in here and correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding Carbon Joe was the only one making them. And the operative word here is was.

There is another alternative albeit a pricey one. One could get carbon fiber rear fenders and paint them the desired color except where the stone guards would have been. It would have a very tidy appearance and there would be the added benefit of the reduced weight at the rear of the car. It just becomes a matter of whether it is worth thr reduced weight of the wallet.

To be honest, Manufacturing fascinates me.. If I had the know-how, and tooling gladly..

But we can dream
