  • aftermarket fenders and bumper covers...

    has anyone bought these off of ebay? After talking to TraceZ it seems I need at a MINIMUM a new left fender, My front bumper cover is buggered up too so I was just wondering if anyone had any horror stories or success stories about getting them. They seem cheap enough but whats the use of saving money if the fitment sucks or they won't hold paint etc. The car is HOPEFULLY going to be painted this spring so I figured I would buy the parts over the winter and have them ready for install then

    thanks for any and all input.

      I have two front fenders and a nose for an 89 formula that are aftermarket and I will pay you to take them! But on the other hand they do look snazy on my shop wall, a full front clip just hangin there as a reminder to me why I never buy aftermarket Crap! They fit so bad that i tried to drill out the holes to move the fenders where they needed to be, used washers and spacers and finaly I got so mad I went and bought new GM ones. Aftermarket is cheap but you will pay the difference in frustration. Also as a side note Body shops HATE jobber parts, look at several hunder more dollars for them to paint as it takes way more fit time.
