Well i found a site that is dirt cheap. All they have really are bumpers and fenders, but they want around $60 for new fenders???? i never tried them but its worth a shot. Compared to victoria british where they want like $250 for a fender

wtf?! $100 for a hood. $60 for a fender. I'm not trying to say anything but this **** doesn't look legit. Anyone have experience please speak up. I'm seriously considering the $100 hood.

 

From what i know, there are a lot of replacement parts coming from China, which they are sold for less than 1/2 theprice of an OEM part. The only drawback is, sometimes, they don't fit too perfectly (off by millimeters). I bought many parts for GMs as cheap replacement for export customers, but never really received any claims so far. There is a local parts area near where i work/live (South Bay, southern California) that sells similar parts for similar prices. They're legit, but if you're looking for perfection, go with OEM. I'm broke, so I go for the replacement type. Also, be careful for the shipping charges and the shippers damaging these items. They are usually poorly packed, not spending too much money on the packaging because it ill cost more than the parts itself. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

 

250 for a fender at VB?? My 85 GSL is only 100 for the fender

 

I agree! In my experience, if you don't use OEM body panels, there is a great possibility that there will be fitment issues. The only time I would use something other than OEM, is when I absolutely can't find OEM. There may be reasonable alternative sources out there, but I haven't found one yet.

 

Another point Id like to make is metal guage thickness is less and therefore more likely to be damaged due to bad packaging. Metal is metal and has its cost so this is really where the cut is at in price.

 

i would still buy a 60 dollar fender since i need one

 

How much thinner can you get than OEM? I mean, pretty soon its not sheet metal - its aluminum foil.

 

There is a place here local like that, Guy at work got a Honda fender, body color for $65.
He was happy with it.

 

I have a brand new Mazda drivers side fender in the packaging never even opened.........

Want it??????

 

oh damn i wish it where driverside but its passenger side

 

Aye mine that needs replacing because of some surface rust is passanger side also.
