i need to get a new fender and ive looked on ebay a bit and it seems as if i can get a primered fender for ~75 bucks

but i dont know of the quality of these pieces from ebay vendors..has anyone had experience with this stuff?

 

Never had experienced with replacement body parts.....but they seem pretty legit. Contact the seller and ask away at all the questions you got.

 

sometimes, i wonder if the seller has actually had first hand experience with their product

even if i asked a question, they could just give me some bs answer with no evidence to support it

theres gotta be someone out there thats been in my situation and could help me out, or atleast i hope so lol

 

I would think that you would probably have alignment issues with the fender and door alignment. I have not had experience with e-bay items, but I have heard from a body shop that aftermarket fenders can be a pain in the **** to fit properly without much adjustment.

 

I bought a pair of fenders off ebay about two years ago, primed. No problems with the alignment, but I had to admit, it was a bit of a pain in the @ss to remove the old ones. Several of the screws/bolts were pretty rusted, and reaching some of the bolts was pretty tough. Overall, they fit really well, the key being not to tighten all the bolts until you've got everything lined up. The only spots where the gap isn't perfect is right at the base of the front windshield, but chances are, no one would notice except for you.

Here's a tip if you decide to go ahead and buy it, cut out a small section of your existing fender and bring it to the paint shop and make sure they can match the color. The factory color code is what the shop will typically use, and chances are, your paint has gotten a bit lighter over the years.
