They said before they won't make stuff for cars that are not in production anymore unfortunately. Big hassle for low return item. I bet they are some others I have seen here that can make it up for you from lexan. Try a search there were pictures.

fab up an aluminum one then you can paint it. Good fiberglass guy could make you one up also. he could take a mold right off you car so it attached nicely. Use aluminum instead of the clear lexan then paint that.

Should be easy to make one out of wood shaped to the car and then make simple bracket for the back and have an fab shop make it up. If fab shop has to do all the design it will cost you big probably. Say copiy the wood and few brackets is cheap.
