Re: Fender

Looks like your standard Chinese replacement.

Best to try and find a good OEM one from a junkyard. Probably be cheaper too.

But if that just isn't an option, and you don't mind if the fit and finish isn't the best, then sure, those are an option. Just don't expect much.

Re: Fender

There was an after market fender on my car when I bought it. It fit like crap. Got one from a donor car and it fits like a glove..

Re: Fender

Does anyone sell a aftermarket fender that does fit good? I have called around yards and they all say there is no chance they have a third gen. I think my best option is buying one here, I don't want shitty fitting fenders

Re: Fender

As Cheerio put, craigslist or even ebay is great at finding local parts. A lot of big yards scrap stuff after a certain age.
