I'm looking for aftermarket quarter panels. Is there a company that makes them for prelude.

Thanks in advance

 

i am a collision tech, i would never put aftermarket quarter panels on a car, nor have i ever even seen one, are they not repairable? only other option is used quarter panels.. and that is not a fun task.

 

Bondo ftl

 

fail! Just like bondo does every time!!

Use a reputable body filler that doesn't promote moisture or rusting. Bondo is pure junk compaired to this blue stuff I've been using lately. Brand name has slipt my mind as its been soo damn long since I had to do any body work thanks to this stuff!!!! *** BONDO!

Oh yeah, and to the opp.. you may as well get grinding, welding, and filling/sanding prepping, priming, and painting. All this stuff you can do yourself. If you need advice doing body work PM me or look it up in the "Astethtic's" forum here. Its all about painting/body work. Your car is like a renewable painting/canvas. You can just sand it back down, repaint if you don't like the job you did. Just know that ever little blemish you have in your body work is going to show up x 10 when painted. Make sure you sand everything as smooth as possible with good lighting to see what your doing. The smoother the surface the less likely anything can get trapped and generate corrossion again.

 

you can buy all body panels from majestichonda.com, front fender is 214 bucks.

 

He probably means rear quarter panels I would think. The front quarter panels are readiliy available.

 

Majestichonda sells them...this is for a 5th gen,..

4TH GEN.

Factory quarter panels are very expensive. I'm gonna have body shop take care of it. If I could find quarter panels cheap, I rather just get it welded and paint the car.

 

Get their work in writing with some sort of guarantee than. Watch out for pin holes in their weld jobs. Make sure the inside is painted too, and than either oil sprayed or undercoated. Some shops will cheese out and miss a few steps than it rots out again from the inside. Oh, don't use the rubber weather stripping. ACTUALLY THIS GOES TO ALL 4th GEN OWNERS. IF you have the rubber mouldings around your wheel wells remove them. They are the reasoning partially due to moisture collection and rusting in the rear corner panels up by where the body meets the rear bumper.

If you see little pin holes along the line that they welded in the piece, its going to bubble out withen a year. Its easier to get them to fix it right away than trying to chase them down later. Keep all reciepts too.

 

ya, I just bought the car so I want to make it look nice. Anybody in CT area does good inexpensive body work. Hit me up

 

Just get a front fender from the opposite side of the quarter panel you want to replace and cut out what you need and weld it in.

 

Actually replacing a rear quarter isn't that daunting of a task. Ask any tool rep for a spot weld remover, and have plenty of time, if your up to doing the task yourself.

Have to removed the rear glass and the quarter glass, but its not that difficult. Just have to chase out all the spot welds and remove them. Both inside and outside. But if your really worried about it looking right find someone else to do it thats done it before. Skinning a car isn't all that hard. Lining it all back up is alittle tricky.

 

Front fenders and rear quarters do not have the same lip profile
