body panel replacement opinons
so i have been doing some rust work on my camry so that i can order my accord body kit and fit that baby up without having to worry about the other body work needing to be done.
today, i was going to refinish the lower rear piece of the driver-side front fender, and i realized that the rust had gotten bad after i had just filled in a rust hole with a regular fiberglass/bondo treatment. the rust damages is basiclly deep rust crevices, and some nice size outward rust dents (i dunno what the technical term is).
so i was wondering, what is everyones oopinion on replacing body panels? junkyard, or OEM part?
the problem with a junkyard is that i live in the chicago area, and rust is a side-effect of living here, so i dont know what the outcome of finding one will be.
and for the OEM part, i can get a onepiece fender for $130 shipped... but id rather that money go towards the supplies and payment for the bodykit...
basiclly, just need your opinion, and if you have ever gotten something similar to this from a junkyard, what did you get it for?

p.s. - if anyone has this part in a decent condition to sell, that would be cool as well
