I believe that's an everyday one-piece that has been cut/customized. The fender cuts look like they were done behind the headlight holes, and the area around the air intake holes looks like from a regular one-piece as well.
If it's not a "standard" one-piece, I think you could replicate it fairly easily.
I can never get enough of that car though- WOW.

You might be right about that. I saw some in a magazine that looked more prerunner style.
I wanted some with the fenders up higher. Do you think they just cut them like that or does someone make some with higher fenders?
Mine are cut so far they might as well be gone. I see yours are about the same.

This one looks like the fenders may be sitting higher.

What do you think of this one on ebay? Do the fenders look higher or is this just trimmed also?

I bought a few one c front ends from that ebay guy, he has them made in mexico an brings them to san diego to sell them. They are very thin and ar OK if you dont car about the thin fiberglass.

My rear fenders are from him also. Quite crappy IMO.

Thanks for the advice. I just like the style. I will look elsewhere. I dont want cheap crap on my car.
I am thinking about the chirco one and trimming it.
