Awe man, You have been searching for the wrong thing...
The guys across the waters use the Toyota Levin or better known as the AE86 (Hachi Roku) arches.
Try looking for those.

Actually they are kinda universal. You just see them more on Hachi's thus saying that they come from a Hachi.
You get them in 2 styles to, a more sharp wider aggressive one and then this more rounded off one.
I also thought of getting them, but I dont like the screw holes and the "plak on look"
I'm thinking of flaring my arches the expensive way. Cutting grinding welding body putty and paint.

..they dont look exactly right, but at that price maybe with a little re-fiberglass-fiddling they'll do the job. I'll need to inspect them in person first.
But shot HancoB, nice "local" find:)

Still looks a bit plak on hay.
Maybe if its molded into the body it would look better but I guess thats personal taste.
