This is going to be costly. The tool maker used by this company happened to drive up as I was talking to the company president. Tool maker man estimated $12,000.00 to make the two sets of molds and install a cooling system in them to make the polyethylene form consistantly. My flares would be destroyed making the molds, thus I would have to purchase a set for myself.

I figure it would take 100+ willing purchasers to make this idea feasible. There is a market, though small and spread out across the world, for these fender flares. The plastics man suggested I phone Bushwacker (Portland, Oregon) and ask 1)if they would be willing to make another run of these 2)if the old dies or tooling still exist, and if so would Bushwacker sell and ship them to me 3)would Bushwacker care if the flares were reproduced.

Plastic man also brought up shipping costs, import taxes, container costs, and God knows how other many obstacles to sell these outside the continental USA. He did say, however, if he could get ahold of the original Bushwacker tooling he could reproduce the flares for under $250.00 per set.

I will make the call to Bushwacker in a few hours. Anybody out there have other ideas concerning this then lets hear them.
