welcome to the board. No one makes a driver side cup. You will need to find a used fender to repair it with. Check the parts board.

It looks like it spent a lot of years riding around with a wad of damp shop rags or paper down in that spot. I'd look for a bent or damaged fender that had that corner still in good shape.

I could be wrong, but I think those are just the skins. I don't think there is any type of structure behind them.

No you are correct. we sell the exact same part from same Mfg. It is just the outer skin.

No company reproduces the left (drivers) side. Actually you need to take the donors off the left and right side if doing both. None of the aftermarket right side ones are fitting worth a darn right now anyway. They are all like 3/4" off. Several us have reported this to Mfg but so far I have not heard much back. So we will not sell right side ones until they fix the problem.

you should be able to find one out where you live
