Wheres the best place to buy your fender? ONLINEMAZDAPARTS.COM

$244 or $257 , depending which side you need. Shipping is usually free on orders over $100 but since the fender is a large item they might charge you like $30 to ship. Its cheaper online at said Dealership website than any other. Trust me, Over ordered multiple fenders & items.

It cost me a grand for the fender, paint and labor. I think
It was like 6 hours of labor because it's a lot that has to come off and be put back on. If you're on a budget just get it painted and install it yourself

Bumper, Headlight, Fender Liner. Shouldnt take too long, maybe 30 minutes?

JM107- I can get you the Fender Painted for $200-300 + the cost of the fender, and then you install it yourself. fairly easy.

What I can do for you is...

1. You pay me the price of a new fender. I order the fender and have it shipped to me. I get it painted and then show you pics and you pay me to ship it to you, and then you install it yourself? Shipping is like $50 I think last time i checked. So you're looking at $650 +/- if you put it on yourself.

Try getting one in a junkyard and have it painted with the color of your car, or you might get lucky and find one with the same color of your car. Anyway, it would be much cheaper doing this rather than having to buy a new one or fixing it up by a body shop. Good luck.

Since you brought this up I decided to look up my old stuff.

Here was the damage

Obviously I could of been better off buying my own fender, getting it painted and installing it myself but at the time I could careless due to the fact it was all covered by the guy that backed into my car. This price covered the fender, rim, shroud, door paint from where it pushed and was scraping, and install. I'll just leave it as these cars ain't cheap

^^...The proper phrase is, "I couldn't care less"...Not, "I could care less".

The point of the phrase is that you care so little as it is, that it isn't possible for you to care any less.

I understand that by saying, "thanks", you actually meant, "I don't really give a s***"...but sometimes it's better to be corrected than to try and make a point incorrectly...Just saying...

There's my good deed of the year...

It was more of a "thank you teacher for putting a lot of red lines trough my paper " I just wasn't expecting the grammar police to be on patrol so it caught me off guard lol
