sick of looking at my banged up fenders

Does anyone know a good (cheap) place to get used and painted front fenders for a 97 camry. Some places quoted me 700 to 800 to repair both my fenders and paint them. This is too much.... I would fix the damage myself but can't (my bondo / fiberglass skills sux). If anyone knows anywhere near Los Angeles that would be great.

Marco quoted me 750 for the repair and paint job
JUST SAY NO TO EBAY

Front fenders or rear? Sounds like front. Just buy new fenders and take it to maaco to paint. Not the best quality but it'll work. Or just paint it yourself.

The price was quoted for both front fenders and paint 700 to 800 dollars. It would be cheap if i bought them from a auto wreak yard/junkyard. I just want to know if anyone here knows a good place to go to in the greater Los Angeles area. I prefer not to buy stuff from ebay.... really bad experience....

go ebay. brand new front bumper painted + shipped to your door for $200.



only thing though.. if your car is a few years old, the paint fades.. so.. the fresh paint may be a tad different from the rest of the body

Considering it was America's best selling car, you should be able to find some fenders with your color code from places like tap recycling.

I could get you a primed bumper (shell, no abosorber) for $74.00 USD plus shipping. And it's CAPA Certified. You would just have to get it painted. Which I'm sure you could find a place to do it for under $200
