If you go to a junkyard you can get the parts for cheap maybe like 50 bucks. Then paint will be like 150.

If your going to sell it I wouldnt even get OEM parts. Just go on ebay and get some look a likes and paint it.

Or look for a car the same color as his at the junk yard and get the parts from that one then you dont have to paint them.

That's what I did when my fender got hit. I looked on car-part.com and found a junkyard that had a fender in the same color as mine and got it for $85 shipped and put it on myself.

Get off your ***, go to a ******* junkyard, bring me the parts and I will paint them in exchange for sex.

True, I'm just bustin hondaPINKS *****, or lack thereof. I dont see why she needs an extra opinion when she has her own personal bodyman that is a phone call away.

I have heard however that many bodyshops dont like fitament of many aftermarket parts. Is there the same problem with keystone? Kinda sucks how you have an affiliation with Veng and you got guys saying how the fitament sucks, not too comforting.

Its hard finding companies with good fitting parts, and the last place you wanna go is to the stealership. They quoted me $331 for a honda civic doorskin, which I thought was a little over the top. Granted they have the best fitament possible, I think the only way I'd go to a dealer is if I had a friend that worked there and could give me a hookup.
