I found a place that can order me two front fenders for $320 CAN tax included ($138 each +tax) un-painted, un-primed. Now these are aftermarket but not the thin lighter crap.The metal is the same density as OEM fenders.
4Aaron GE, I've been told that they don't make rear 1/4 panels or rocker panels yet, except if you get it from a dealer. Muchos $$$. I need both those for both sides of my car. The guy whos helping me do the bodywork says he can get them, in fact, he's already put a deposit down. I'll I know is heresay though. By thursday I'll know for sure. DV. you got a ae86 right?
Hatch or coupe? He told me that it could be a while before the parts come though. I think they have to wait for a bigger order, maybe we can do a group buy?
ae86 is unibody shell so those rear fenders arnt body panels that can be "easily" removed like the fronts
if u want rear quarters... ur probably gona have to take it to a shop and have them do it
it will involve u cutting away the old metal and welding on the new piece... realistically it would probably be easier for u to just cut away the bad metal weld/replace it with fresh metal and bondo over it
I know a friend of mine who completely reconstructed his outer shell of his body and it's in pristince condition now

Well, that's the plan. The condition on mine isn't horrible, but if I can get the early style rear arches without the provisions for that stupid plastic piece, I'd rather have the rust completely removed, rather than just fill over the holes etc, and leave the chance for it to come back.
