New Front Fenders

Post by DevC »

So the windshield shop f-ed up one of my fenders, so I need to source a new one, maybe 2 while I'm at it. Annoying part is this car is rust free and all one colour and I have follen in love with the whinestone :x

Anyways, looking at these sources online since I'm in no hurry. Anybody use these sources?

Dealer can also get me one for approx $250 taxes in which I'm sure will fit best.

Whatchya guys think?

Car is a post face wagon.

If you got the cash go dealer. Otherwise I'd go to my local pull pay and see what I could find. Here in co our first gen legs are everywhere in junk yards

Yeah, I keep track of the pnp here but the ones we get are always rusty and trashed.

Id second going to the dealer. Hard to beat getting the original fender in perfect shape, if the car is clean otherwise.

I bought the last left side in the country 5 years ago from Subaru. Right sides they had 2-3 left when I picked one up for my wife car 2 years ago. You will most likely need to go aftermarket, and they fit pretty good. Good luck, I hope you find oem fenders.

There are some dealers that may not tie into the inventory database, so you might get lucky in finding something.

My dealer had access when I called but I found a good used fender from someone in town, I'll sandblast it and fix one small ding and it will be good.
