Default Lower rear quarter pannel question

Does anyone know if I were to buy a lower rear quarter pannel replacement does it wrap all the way around so stuff won't keep flying up by my trunk? Thanks

Back side or front side? I ordered a set of back sides a while back and I had a hard time finding them. I got one from a dealer in Texas and another from New York. I made my own front sides and grafted them onto the body.

I'll get a picture but I just used and able grinder to cut them off and now there is just an open gap where mud and whatnot can fly up there (like the space right behind my taillight)

Well here's a picture of what the look like now. The back to them was also rusted out so I just cut them as well. I guess what I'm asking is where can I get the back to them so the whole thing is sealed? Like I said all of the sites I've looked at just show it coming with the front and not the plate on the back.

Most guys fold them under at the body line, then cut the flair off to match. Keep in mind, this section you cut also helps support the rear section of the body. if it is very rusted you may need to renforce the body. Just some FYI.
