Default I need a replacement black fender flare treatment

Whatever they're called, I need one. I was driving today in high winds and it blew off somewhere in a 200 mile stretch. It is the black foam-type plastic fender extension behind the rear passenger side door. Where do I find just the part I need and not a whole set? Thanks.

Thank you Paul. It arrived yesterday and you're right, it looks much nicer than the others in the photo. How do I refinish the others?

The biggest issue is the texture. They tend to get rough with age. You can always use something like Forever Black. I've had good success with it in the past. Others have gone so far as to spray paint them black so they'll match. You should probably do a search here on the forum. I'm certain this topic has been discussed in the past.
Cheers,
Paul

I tried liquid shoe polish and it did almost nothing.

I bought Kiwi at CVS, but I did use my discount card. Maybe that's why I didn't work...

lol.

I'm going to be doing this as well. I'm going to sand mine a bit to smooth them out then spray them with matte black plasti dip. Hoping to get it done this weekend.

Of all the rubbish cosmetic things on the D2 the flares and the way they are attached must take pole position. Some remain good and others deteriorate to a rough grey surface but only usually partially. I've used Back to Black, silicon spray etc you name it I've tried it and nothing, but nothing seems to last very long. Probably the best thing to do is spray them with a plastic compatible spray paint and if that's the case I'll colour match/code them to the Vienna green bodyshell color.
