I just bought my passenger side fender for my car which is the first piece of the body that i am replacing i paid $75 for the passenger fender Brand new pre-primerd and im wondering if anyone has taken on this task and how much fun im getting myself into....also another thing the fender is primer black my car is white in the long run i am wanting to paint my car blue and it will cost me $100 to get just the fender painted should i go ahead and spray it white then ride til i get ready to paint it blue or just leave it primer until i paint it blue?

 

All I have to say it's a LOT of fun

 

i think im getting some sarcasum....haha i have the fender right now so should i wait to put it on when i have the from bumber and clip....because the front bumper and clip is bent so im not sure if the fender will fit with the bumper on

 

I would wait until you got the rest of your parts and do it all at once since you are going to taking things off any way. And it can kind of a pain lining body panel up if it your first time doing it.

 

The primer that is used on your fender is to protect it long enough to ship it to you and while it hangs around at the wearhouse. If you put it out in the weather it will be rusty in a matter of months. I'd say go ahead and get it painted. It may save some headaches in the future.

 

Like stated above, just wait and do it all at once. BTW, have fun with the front fender bolts where it mounts to the nose

 

I hate those bolts that was the worse the 2 on each side

 

funny thing about taking it off is i can BREAK stuff cuz all the parts are EFFED up the only thing i have to be careful with is the side skirt....and for the guy that said its gonna rust...im not keeping it outside right now its in the trunk of my car and is inside the garage at midas lol...and i guess ill just take everything off the side and wait til i get all the pieces before i put all of it back on....the bumper is gonna cost me around like $350 so it might be alittle while.

any suggestions on a website with cheap pieces??

 

it will still rust unless midas keeps their garage at room temperature which they do not.

if you have the money to repaint the whole car soon i'd wait. if it's going to be a year paint it white and make the car look presentable if you like it. save your money where you can a year from now you might not care to rebuild the car and fixing it now will make it look better obviously and help your resale.

as for disassemble it isn't bad, lining up is the issue so long as all of your mounting points aren't bent/broken, etc your good!

 

lol im sure there will be 1 or 2 bent cuz right were the fender meets the front bumper so im sure its gonna be a pain
