The flares would need about $5000.00 to start and produce the first group of flares. This would produce about 7 sets if my memories serves me correctly. You can look up the topic on the flares here for more information. I have 4 NOS flares to make the molds from.

Hello,
I hope you can make me extremely happy. Do you know if they still make or have any spoilers for 1979 AMX still available? I am willing to buy 2 sets. I am the original owner on a all stock 52,000 mile yellow v8 AMX. thanks, Dave DAVIDL1001@ITV-3.COM

Contact mirror image plastics in Ohio. They reproduced them and they look great. I have one saved for my car - Eddie must not be aware of them.

Testing the waters again for reproducing the fender flares, I posted under the flare topic but I thought I would share here as well.
20 sets for about $450 for 4 is the buy in, I'm in for 3 that leaves 17 for sale, who interested?? Thanks,
Dave |

I didn't think I would ever hear that you would get these made. My only question does this include the small foam trim between the plastic fender flares and the fender. I haven't been able to find that item any where. I would still be in for 1 set of all four fender flares. I did purchase the front spoiler and had them bonded to one piece. The spoiler looks great after allot of heating and bending to make them fit. Most of the fit trouble was caused by the body shop I took them to, they put them in their paint booth and warmed them up to dry the paint faster. When you get these made I may have them bonded to the spoiler for a one piece total assembly . Let me know the statis of the fender flares and any information on the foam ribbing would be great.
Thanks for the information. |

Update - so I've got the front spoiler installed. Just wanted to warn anyone that might have been driving without it until installation. I've already scrapped it twice in the first week.
***Be careful, you now have something hanging low off the front of the car*** Parking blocks, driveways and dips in the pavement can catch you unaware.

It should not come as a total surprise why there are so few of them left after 36 years and possibly why they were made of a flexible material in the first place. I have one of the original reproduction pieces stashed as a potential replacement should the OEM one get damaged. But by that time the AMX will be pretty much a drivable show piece. My 1980 Spirit though, will be driven less air dam and flairs. |

Hello.
I’ve got a 79 Amc Amx with 42k Miles The car was hit on the passenger side and I’ve had to do a bit of work to get most of it straight, but having an issue with the fender flares. Did you ever get them reproduced and if so, what is the cost for the set. The passenger side is all I really need, but as someone said, no one is making these anymore and trying to get replacements is like pulling teeth! Also I noticed that after taking them off the car to repaint when I went to reinstall they don’t sit properly against the fenders or rear quarters. Any suggestions? I was thinking of dual sided 3M tape? |
