Good luck. I could only find genuine ones second hand from wreckers for about $150 each for the front ones. I ended up getting some fibreglass ones off eBay for $150 the pair, fit pretty good, but you need to make your own mounting holes and be a bit careful.
If you only want rubber flexy flares, go to Clark Rubber, they sell the same stuff as Bushranger use for their flares for a lot less money.
I run 35's on my GU and they are pretty much covered by the eBay ones. If you're really concerned, you could get the factory or eBay flares and then go to Clark Rubber and attach some of their stuff to them so you'd have flares on flares.

I use black UV treated garden edging from Bunnings. 75, 100, 150mm widths. Cuts easily with tin snips. I use 100mm and it does expand in the heat of the sun, but tends to hold it's shape quite well. I won't be scratching my guards against trees or dirt mounds so I didn't need the flexibility of rubber.
