As the title reads, and I need them as soon as I can get them because  I was about to take my car to the paint shop when mine broke.  So my project is on hold for these.  Your help is much appreciated!  I'd prefer that they are in good shape, no cracks, and still able to take flexing without worry of shattering.  I also can't be too picky because I know no one makes reproductions of these... yet.  Thanks!

How did I miss that?! I just ordered door panels from him about a month ago, and I didn't notice that!  Awesome!! Thanks for the heads up!! 

 

EDIT:

 

Actually, after reading his product description, the ones he sells are the 86-87 SI "side skirts" that have the flare at the bottom.  That would be a last resort if I can't find the '85 SI side skirts that don't have the flare.  I really want to keep it looking stock.  Thanks though.

Are you by chance going down to Florida or know of anyone going to Florida soon? Tampa exactly? I have plastic down there I was hoarding and I think I have a set of non so skirts id have to double check. But if you or a friend is in the area I can get my brother to dig them out of the batcave and they're yours. I don't want to ask him to ship and such though. Just an offer if by chance you're in the area. I'll double check if you find someone visiting family or something

Thanks Vicious!  I'm actually going to be driving down to Fort Myers in May, but I just decided to go with your first suggestion.  I just took advantage of the HeelToe deal on molded parts and ordered the side skirts from them.  After my experience with the old plastics, I just couldn't take the chance of having them break, during or after a new paint job.  Now that I mention it, I'll need two front mud flaps for an 86-87SI now.  Would you happen to have a set?  I'd be willing to trade the '85SI set that I have now for them.

 

Thanks again for your help!  

 

In my mind I'm taking a bit of a chance putting the flared side skirts on my car because I haven't seen it done very often, but I did a little mock up of it in photoshop and I think it'll look decent.  Thought's anyone?
