Thanks, got them from Keshav ([email protected]), some other forum users have gotten OEM parts from him - he was the cheapest price I found for these and he shipped quickly... I did the install myself, at first I wasn't sure about it since I'm not the most handy guy but a couple places wanted $150 or more to install them so for that price I figured it was worth me figuring it out.

The hardest part is getting the rivets OUT. The first one or two will take you like 20-30 minutes each because you're being really careful trying not to damage anything and figuring out how those rivets are set in there. After that it goes quickly like 1 minute to get out each rivet and 10 seconds each to put in the new ones. One thing to remember is that the rear flares have 4 plastic clips - you need to transfer those from the old flare to the new ones.
