Usually buying them here is probably best if possible. I believe ebay has aftermarket ones.

My wife doesn't get into accidents over ducks. She murders them. Lol. Twice. Sorry to hear about your car.

Used fenders in good shape are pretty hard to come by, and if someone is selling them they go really fast. When my car got T-boned, I had five people ask me about my fenders.

They would be a pain to ship too. I'd just get some new aftermarket fenders.

Get new OEM fenders. I bought aftermarket the fitment sucks nothing really lines up, the corner lights dont fit, doesn't match any lines of the car. OEM isn't that expensive and the dealership can usually give you a deal.

I had no problems with aftermarket.

I put an aftermarket fender on my 94 and it fit very well. I do body work for a living and I'm very particular about fit and finish. I can't say that I trust aftermarket shit to fit the same every time but the one I bought fit great. Cost was around $80.
