Plastic Fenders
Anyone have any experience with these plastic replacement fenders on eBay? Aren't the OEM ones plastic also??

I purchased some of the non oem ones from ebay.. JUNK. the front fender flares fit, but there is a large gap on the bottom where it meets the front bumper. The rears would not fit properly. I have flared fenders in the front and the flat ones on the rear currently. Will have to find a set of oem ones for the rear. IMO save up and buy the oem ones.

So that means they're repairable? I have a gunshot crack under the reflector on my passenger side. Wasn't sure if it was repairable or not..

look up the part number on realoem.com and then use furiousmethod.com to find pricing across multiple places at once. I've found Husker to be one of the best prices out there.

Am I better off repairing my fender or replacing it completely? Either way, it'll still need paint...

Thanks!

Repairing. Probably.

But a picture...well... they ARE worth 1000 words.

If it were me I'd be calling around to see if and salvage yards have an OEM fender in the color you want. I feel like that would be the best way to get the color match and OEM part without having to deal with paint work.

What color and side do you need?

I'm looking for space gray passenger side...my car is currently dipped. I got keyed all around the car 2 weeks ago, so I was looking to do the whole thing all at once...

So the regular flat ones fit properly? I don't run fender flares...
