Default Boomerang XL wheel wells

Looking for wheel wells for a Boomerang XL. Not sure where Boomerang stands as a company. Any help appreciated.

I ordered some for my Sprint before they went out of business. They sent me some trashy ultra-thin wheel wells in a flat envelop and they were crushed when they got here. They were not the right color and were permanently creased. Most of the guys I talked to about what they did to replace them said that they just built in the wheel well area and covered it. I have seen several attempts at this. Some were O.K. and others were clearly not done very well.

I know a guy that can make some. Built his own vacuum form machine. I'll see if he'll jump in here.

I ended up throwing mine away because they didn't fit my prolink retracts very well. I soaked some lite balsa in water for a bit then wrapped it around the inside of the wheel wells and CAd it in place. I think it turned out better then the plastic ones. Just an idea?

I did something very similar. The wheels bottomed out in the plastic wells and as I recall, the legs didn't fit into them very well either. Instead of balsa, I laminated 2 layers of 1/64" plywood wrapped around a piece of PVC pipe to make mine.
