Does anyone have or know where i can get a rear passenger side door flare for a 2000 GU II Patrol.

you can fix fiberglass piss easy.. 90% of people attempt fixing the plastic ones fail.
and if they are made well enough, not just 1 run of fiber, then they will be strong.. Boats seem to do well, well the ones we used to make did.

Yeh but then the costs start building up.

Plastic is injection moulded. Cheap to produce.

Thick layered fibreglass is not cheap, takes alot longer to make and finish than injection moulded plastic.

Only reason noone's making replacement items yet is because they need to be a slightly different design to Nissan's and I don't think many people have access to plastic moulding setups :p
