You could buy something like this
rocket bunny
and make it fit onto the 6cg
or maybe find a good bodyshop and make them metal. It would me better than fiberglass rocket bunnys.
I've seen some DIY rocket bunny flares on AE86 corrolas and more cars. as yellochinaman said the style of these arches doesn't demand OEM looks

That's the 1 I was looking at. and he is right. I spoke to a friend of mine n was told it could be easily done. il have to worry about fitting the alloys and spacing it properly afterwards. I have put it on my to do list now. how much more would having it made in metal actually cost tho? I don't feel it to be too necessary to have it in metal to be honest

Don't know what would cost you to be done. I would be happy with something around 800-1000 euro here.
Your friend is right.
But you will have to worry about the wheels before you make the flares.
I would firstly look my wheel choices ( with or without spacer adapters)
Check how wide you want to go and calculate it with something like this www.willtheyfit.com
then decide what tyre size sould I use (stretched you be better with the flares maybe?)
and at the end I would make the arches to match the wheels
otherwise you may and up with sunk wheels, huge spacers or rubbing on fiberglass problems.

that is some very helpful advise! i will start looking into it soon then. better to have the research than go into it completely blind.

i do want to go with the rocket bunny kit. and would prefer not to use spacers. will look into stretching. dont want the speedo/acceleration to be off by too much. hopefully handling etc will not be out by too much either. i do love the way ET0 tend to poke out but will probably still need some spacers.
