2005 Extreme Trailer - Tire Blowout Damage to Inside "Plywood" Wheel Well Panel (Where to get Replacement?)

Had a blowout a few days ago and ripped away the inside carpeted panel between the metal wheel well and boat.  Any ideas where to purchase replacement?  Extreme?  Or, looks like its just treaded plywood with appropriate carpeting.  Has anyone here fabricated a replacement themselves?

Thanks!

Do yourself a favor , remove the opposite side and make 2 new plywood sides. Hold them in place and mark the existing holes in the fender. I coated mine with 2 coats of resin. I used a spray can of underbody weather coating on the exposed side facing the wheels on the plywood. Carpet can be purchased on line, be sure to use stainless staples. If your fender paint is beat up I would prime and paint any under seal them underneath also

I redid mine last year and this is the exact (well, almost exact) process I used as well.

I made a template of both old panels on new PT plywood.  Cut to size, marked the bolt holes and then coated them in spray on bed liner.  Re-wrapped with new bunk carpet (on the boat side only, leaving the wheel area exposed) and stainless staples and secured to the fenders with new stainless hardware.  I did this at the same time I repainted the entire trailer so my fender paint was a non issue as it was all starting fresh anyway.

Moral of the story, very easy to do if you have the time ;)

...Won't be working in the Nike factory in India, but I think they came out decent.  I used this Gorilla spray on, and it seems to be great.  Water test will tell all, but applied easily and seems air tight.  Also, this Arrow staple gun made all the difference (Amazon).  Run's on compressor air.  All total cost about $85 for all the materials (Plywood, bunk carpet, sealant).  Couldn't believe how much a sheet of plywood cost these days...insane.

Thanks for all the replies and great advice.
