13.6ounces..... why would you want to know this? If it's that important, grab 10mm socket and pull it off and weigh it.

its less than a pound. the size of the package is the determining factor here.

The box you ship it in will weight more than the fender. The fender is very fragile and will be destroyed in shipment if you don't pack it well and use a very strong box.

I recently bought two new front fenders. I didn't weigh them, but they aren't very heavy. They probably weigh about 10-15 lbs each. The oversize shipping costs will probably contribute more to the total shipping cost than weight.

You could weigh the whole car, then take the fender off an re-weigh the car. The difference between the two would be the weight of your fender.
