Definitely looks sketchy. I wouldn't buy it.

You could probably buy the fenders directly from Mazda without having to pay too much; maybe even less than what these guys want. Also, regardless of which seller you choose to buy your fenders from, do not buy them prepainted - WWP is one of the more complex colors and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't match. Instead, buy it primered and get a local, reputable body shop to paint match it for you.

Yeah prepainted is not a good idea since the car is an 05. The colors will not match since paint tends to fade a little in the sun. You will need a good body shop to blend the new fender and the car.

A new fender from mazda goes for about $225

Yeah its best to have a bodyshop match the fender perfectly to your car since your paint will have faded slightly in the last 5-6 years.

Id find a good used fender or go straight to the dealer and get one then have it painted locally.
