have you tried PMNA or one of their distributors (TRG, GMG, etc)?

Getty make their 1" wider flared fenders. Are those that much different from the GA fenders?

I couldn't find anyone that made them so I had to pull a mold off of the set we had. TRG had 3 used left front fenders but no rights as of a month ago (or maybe it was the other way around). They seemed to think they got them from Getty but Getty doesn't have the mold so I'm at a loss as for where they came from originally. Maybe K-Pax?

I molded the flare portion to be able to graft on to stock fenders (composite or steel) if you get desperate.

Do you have the flare portion for both sides?

I made the one set for this car and bonded them to stock steel fenders as we are running headlights in this car and they fit a lot better in the steel fenders then the fiberglass ones I have seen. Granted bonding them onto a steel fender requires a bit of bondo and results in not the lightest fender but we were't concerned with that on this car as it is going into a power to weight class and we were going to have to add ballast anyways.

The lighter way to do it would be to start with a Getty fiberglass fender and section in the flare. With these fenders, it would take quite a bit more work to keep the gas flap door functional and if you run tires that really fill them out (280/650/10 on a 10.5" ET44 rim leaves room to spare) the fill tube gets in the way. On a cup that has a Cell, they don't use the stock fill tube so it isn't a problem but on the Boxster the "real" ones are on, we had to make a new fill tube to fill the gas thank from the front trunk.

Years ago I put a set on this Boxster I was playing with but removed them as they caused too much drag with a little 2,.7 motor. I'll make a call and see if they're still up in the rafters somewhere....
