Unfortunately the only ones I know of still for sale are the PBS style flares Midwest bayless has.
I think think the key is to keep an eye out and to snatch a set if your lucky enough to find one like myself. Otherwise when the time comes just fabricate your own.

Nice summary; do you know these?
They look great, very integrated and quite subtle, but I don't know who makes them or where to start looking:

the bmw is at 46 seconds, but i'd recommend watching the whole video :wink2:
it would definitely be a challenge, but i still think they'd look great on an x :king: mine could definitely use the extra downforce at 90+ mph.. and i know there are easier (and probably more effective) ways to increase downforce, but if i wanted a cookie cutter i never would have bought my x in the first place :whistle:
artbasement, those looks great

Those are my favorite after a dallara I remember seeing them but couldnt find them thanks for posting.

and they redirect air from the hitting the tires, so they should reduce drag greatly.
Oh that BMW kit is a variation of the GTR touring car body

I did a similar attachment with welded brackets and rivets. I drilled most out and after bonding and kept a few as peel stoppers. I also backed up the "B" side with resin and glass cloth to sandwich the bracket to the panel. It has been 17 or 18 years now and they are still holding on great. A bit of cracking has shown up at the coach joints over the last 3 years but I keep it under control with race tape. I have limited time to post details but the short of it is that it is big money and quite a bit of time, I had probably 5-6 yrs in construction before it was truly road ready.

Curious - Does your kit which looks damn nice, hinder servicing the car in any way? for example getting to the radiator etc.

No issue, it goes the other way and opens up the access quite a bit. The radiator is no more difficult than stock. There are two issues with the way I did it though, because the sheet metal was removed there was too much access and I had to fab up a number of close out panels in the rear trunk and inside the front of the rear quarters. There is some difficulty reaching over the rear quarters when working on the engine but it is not objectionable.
