Talking Ordered My Body Parts :D

Well I finally broke down and did it...the funny thing was, I got an estimate at a local body shop, and it was $950!!! Way to much!
So I found an online Wholesale Autoparts place, and got:

Front Bumper + Valence and Bracket
Corner Lamp/Signal Lamp
Fender
Grille

For $120!!! Very cheap, that includes shipping

I know I can install the bumper/lights, but how hard would it be to do the Fender? Anyone know?

Also, anyone know somebody in WA who would paint the fender cheap...I don't want to drive around looking like whitetrash with an unpainted fender

i don't think the fender will be very hard to do. on my old 87 mazda pickup i had to put a new fender on and the hardest part was finding out that i had to take the windsheild wipers and the peice around them off to get to the last bold on the fender. good luck. sorry i don't know anybody about the painting thing. maybe just call maco and have them do the whole thing? hahahaha or just call them and see how much just the fender would be.

DO IT!!! hahahaha

but seriously. you should just get the whole thing painted. i don't know about yellow, but something cool like that. you don't want to look too much like a school bus.


i think the other guy is asking where the the company is located. or where they are shipping the stuff out from.

Acually what the company does is find the cheapest way to ship out everything, using UPS, FEDEX, and other freight companies, then they tell you when your stuff will be delivered...so it might be awhile for some things, but it makes it easier that they do all the shipping work for you!
