I got all 4 panels from Classic Industries.  The material is thinner but worked very well.

I cut up a solid car for mine. I have heard from the grapevine that there may be supply issues ordering online. If you look around you may be able to source them locally through a body shop that deals directly with someone like AMD or the likes.

The set I used on my formula came from NPD. They fit pretty good, like above, probably thinner metal but I had no issues but welding them to the original metal.
