Wing root fairings

Hi all, I'm doing a slow build RV6A and although I'm about ? years and 15000 rivets away from having to worry about it I notice that some RV's have a really nice moulded wing root fairing rather than the rubber strip, are these for sale some where or are they owner built, cheers Mat:

Try Fairings, etc.

Here's an install pic from Robbie Attaways RV

....if you're looking for speed. A poster on here bought a flying -6 several years ago and had those nicely molded fairings. When he removed them and went with Van's flat aluminum fairings, he picked up 7 MPH!

Since the wing/fuselage intersection is close to 90 degrees, there's little to no turbulence or drag there.
