06 Fender Conversion/Replacement

snicksrolos · 03-23-2008, 12:36 AM

Due to a recent accident (see my post about the H2 damage) I'm thinking about doing one of the following:

1. Buy a replacement fender (front - passenger side) and have it painted and installed by a local body shop.
2. Buy 2 new fenders (fiberglass or metal) and have them painted and installed by a local body shop.

My questions to my fellow members are as follows:

Does anyone have pics of aftermarket fenders installed on their rides?
Any suggestions of where to browse/purchase aftermarket fenders from?
Once painted, is it possible for me to install the replacement (or new ones) myself?

Thanks for whatever help you can throw my way!

After a fender is painted installing it is easy. All youneed is basic handtools and it requires almost no mechanical skill. The hardest part is getting it aligned right.

SCHWEEEEEEETTT!!! I'm definitely going to try to do it myself! I found a shop on ebay that sells OEM replacement fenderswith factory matched paint included for a little over $200!
