Default Best place for cheap replacement body panels?

We CONSTANTLY need new fenders for our 92 Civic race car...I don't care about quality, as long as they reasonably fit. I have found a ton of on-line places but does anyone here have any experience with a good on-line place where I can order front fenders? They have a "combat" life expectancy of about 1 race and the car is looking pretty sad these days.

Try this place out.

That is the largest Honda Junkyard that i know of, its ~45mins from me, and they literally have 1000s of wrecked Hondas there.

Pete, Pete, Pete....You should just ask me. 1 800 Fenders. $45 for a primered fender if I remember correctly. They even have a location in the south bay that I (or Mike D) can pick them up at to save on shipping cost.

The thing for me was that some of the on-line places charge a fortune in shipping. Picking them up saves the 20-30 $s
