How do I fix this?
This is what I was thinking- grind the rust down, fiberglass it, then paint over it. Anyone have any tips? It's on my buddy's 01.

Cut that whole section out and weld in new metal.

+1, and periodically check the paint. As long as the paint is good the rust shouldn't spread.

I was saying you can't just buy it and bolt it on like a front fender.

+1, that is exactly what I would do, if done right, it'll be flawless and should last a long time.
