Default Quarter Panel Rust

Car: 1996 Honda Civic hatchback

I've searched about rust on quarter panels and read that I should cut the area off another car or I could order it online. I saw the website, rustrepair.com , and I was wondering if anyone has done business with them recently. Also, what are some other steps that I should do to fix this rust? Thanks in advance.

LOL Things do back order sometimes, it's not their fault.

I plan on ordering them and having a friend weld it for me. I'm going to go around shops in the city and ask them for quotes also.

www.fixmyrust.com is a joke.

i ordered my rear quarters and rockers from them for my coupe. they sent me hatchback ones and said they only come in this and 4 door...pffft
the rockers were ok....once they sent them!!!!
they forgot to with the first order. i waited over 4 weeks total for my parts to come in. then on top off that they are the worst looking, horribly made parts in the world. my body man had to massage the crap out of them for them to even work for me.
i recommend ordering from honda only. spend a little more from them and less in time and labor.

Are fixmyrust.com and rustrepair.com the same company?

Actually aftermarket fenders have been discontinued for '92 - '95 Civics in the last little while, i'm not sure if the quarters have been yet or not. Coupe quarters are notoriously hard to find, you just can't get them in north america, you have to use hatch quarters and modify them (ideally you'd combine hatch and sedan quarter panels, but this requires buying two sets of quarter panels) Btw the wheel arches fit pretty well, i believe they're a certa-fit part, but the full quarters are hand stamped and fitment leaves a lot to be desired.
