Default Anyone know of a shop that will build custom fender flares?

Okay, I have some crappy ABS fender flares on my bimmer and I'm sick of them. I'm looking to find a shop that will custom build me some nice metal or fiberglass flares: I'm not as picky about the material as I am about the fitment. I searched and didn't come up with anything. I figured someone here might know of a shop that would be able to get this done for a reasonable amount of change.

I'm looking to have something like these built:



because the flares I have right now don't really fit the wheels/tires I'm running and I'm tired of rubbing. I'd just order the ones pictured but they're no longer available new.

thanks.

also you should go to some random bodyshops around your area and bring a picture/s of what you want done, you'd be surprised at what some shops can do

Don't do fiberglass it will flex and crack after a while if it rubs, I can't think of it but their is this shop next to Function:Tuned in sterling that only does E30/E36 and some E46 bimmers and they make all of their fender flares (from metal) for their scca, etc... cars.

I've been posting on r3vlimited and e30tech since 2004ish haha I'm pretty familiar with the sites. I've been to a bunch of body shops around merrifield/dunn loring and wasn't impressed with any of them. The level of professionalism was severely lacking at pretty much every shop I went to.
