The fender replacement will be pretty obvious if they don't.

Another option would be trying to find a fender from a wrecked 8 in the same color.
The reason they blend is because the sunlight causes the paint to change/fade a bit with age so chances are if you find a used sunlight silver with similar amount of miles, it'll look pretty close and you won't have to worry.

if you can find a used undamaged original factory SS fender you will find that it will match good enough

You and I are in the same predicament... I've been scouting the forum of parts for sale for a complete passenger front fender. Here's the damage I have and since replaced the front bumper I bought from a forum member in Florida whom LifeAfterRx8 knows.
