That's a tough one.

Last known place to still make new kits was "Wickedbodies.net" and they look to be gone now. :mad:

So your gonna have to do some hunting.

In short, you are going to spend a LOT of time searching and banging your head against a very hard brick wall.  Our cars are old enough now that very few aftermarket custom parts are available any more.  I've even considered taking the kit off my red bird, and seeing if someone can reproduce it for my blue bird so I can have it on when I get the blue one painted.  I'd really hate to bugger up the installation, though.
 
I actually ordered a kit one time, and had the charge go through on my credit card.  Three days later, a credit was issued back to my card, and I get a letter about a week later apologizing for the boo-boo.  The kits are VERY hard to find, and fiendishly expensive when you do, even for used ones.  They DO make our cars look good though.

I think those are the side skirts I was selling. Wink wink. If they aren't exact they are pretty  close. If you want email me a couple of pictures dead on of the side of your car and such, and I"ll email you back with a few pictures of the kits supported up to mine. Obviously they are just taped on, and will fit your car much better when properly installed.
