Default rust repair question...

I have read through most of the body repair and rust repair threads on here. Im getting ready to order new skins for rear qaurters on my ef sedan. but wondered i didnt see any fixes for the wheel well arch's? I need to do mine as well neither are that bad but want it to remain one of the cleanest ef's in central ohio. i realy want to retain the factory lip but am unsure how to keep it due to the panels offered are mostly exterior skins only... also how do i join the two if im able to find them?

The quarter panel you order should have the arch included as one piece. If for some reason it doesn't, you order the arch itself at http://www.rustrepair.com

I don't know how far out you're going, but if you want to just custom fab something and have a great skin to lay over the skeleton, http://www.civicdutyparts.com makes excellent pieces by hand to order. Their prices aren't really that far out either.

They use fiber glass or they can do entire carbon fiber panels. They used to do partial carbon fiber skins but it was time and labor intensive, and the fiberglass does fine.

I haven't installed mine yet, but it's durable as ****. It's been stepped on and retained shape with no stress indicators (I managed to get one of his last C/F repair archs).
