There was some pretty sweet ones for sale in my area on craigslist the other day. Wanted 300 for both front and rear. They were sweet. If you want I can get you the number and y'all can see about shipping.

Then I cut the excess of the inner fender shields to match the hight of the bumper as well as to give more clearance:
