    front fenders from ebay?

    Anyone bought front fenders from eBay or know we're to get them cheap in Canada?
    If you've bought the eBay ones are they any good?

      just head to your pick'n pull yard. they're bound to have some in decent condition
      Check with the staff there too - they'll let you know how often they rotate the stock in the yard, that way you don't keep coming back with the same cars in the lot and wasting your time!

        You can also buy them new for not all that much money if you don't want to deal with finding rust-free, straight old ones, then detaching and refinishing them.

            I bought one many moons ago. It was meh. No one else noticed it after paint, though. It was $30, but almost $100 in shipping ftl. Holes were off for trim, crease wasn't like stock. If you dig through my Delphin thread, you will see it.

            Would have bought new at the time, had I known the quality.

              aftermarket fenders fit like shit in the front around the headlights. When i had my e30 painted they also had to replace my drivers side front fender. well the shop ordered aftermarket front fender because it cost 1/2 the price of oem. When i picked up the car i immediately noticed the crappy fitment. I told them i wasnt happy and they ordered/sprayed/fit ANOTHER aftermarket fender, which still fit like crap. So they had to finally pay for an OE fender and it came out perfect, they ended up eating $160 in fenders.
