Metal Rock Guards

I've been searching and cannot find metal rock guards for my BDR. I know Finishline has them but Enzo tells me they won't fit the BDR. They fit the likes of EM and others. I've heard of a guy that makes them but he's only made them for the FFR's. I want SS or Aluminum that can be polished. My all Silver car would look great with these. I know I can get black, or clear vinyl, but I really want some metal ones. Anyone out there that could point me in the direction to obtain some, it would be appreciated!

Nuke:
If you have a motorcycle customizing shop anywhere near you I am sure they can make you a custom set in either stainless, or aluminum or chromed metal. Those guys typically have the where-with-all to fabricate curved pieces such as fenders and gas tanks.

Another option is to have a black naugahyde pair of spats made. Bob in CT has these on his Superformance. The top hooks into one or two of the Tonneau pins and the bottom neatly attaches to the back of the fender well with velcro.

Maybe he has pictures of this in his photo gallery?

I'm the guy that makes them for FFR's. I can make them for other types as well, but at this point have only made them for FFR's because I happen to have one to work from. I sent you an email...

Look at my photo gallery to see them on my car.

Thanks for the info guys. I've contacted Brian who makes them for the FFR's but he's in MA. and I'm in MO. Hope we can work something out to fabricate them. If not, I'll keep taking suggestions and maybe try to find a local fab shop. The ones on Brian's car are exactly what I'm looking for though.

I will check with a couple of bike shops up here in KC. I have been wanting some as well. It will be another excuse for you and Roger to come see us in KC!!

Thanks Mark! I'll do some checking around here. We do have a large fab shop at the plant with some of the best machinists and welders in the country also. I may be able to get one of them to take on the task. I'm also talking with Brian to see if he can get some made. Just kind of hard for him with no car to look at.
