Like the title says I got an 01 S2K with d/s rear quarterpanel damage. Does anyone know where to get a new one. I found a used one but just curious if its better to put brand new on instead. Is there a good body shop i can send it to in NY that wont kill my wallet but will do good work.

 

there is a company that i heard of, that may have brand new quarterpanels. OEM too. I cant be too sure who you might need to contact if you were to really buy one from them... but they're called HONDA

 

lol thanks, but guess you didnt read the part about not killing my wallet. Honda was the first place i went to but there price was ridiculous by me. So any other bright ideas.

 

well, used are fine, as long as there's no pre-existing damage... i'd say, whatever you do just stick with OEM... but i believe, whether you decide to go OEM used/new, or aftermarket you're kinda f*cked either way, because since its the driverside, you cant necessarily replace the VIN tags on the quarter inside the door jambs. So people will know that it was replaced at one point and that depreciates the value of the car... unless u sell it to a guy that cares less, or doesnt know what to look for.

 

show us a picture. dammit!

 

There are companys like LKQ and certifit... Some modification might be needed...

 

certifit is garbage...buy a used one if money is an issue, and i believe you can get new vin stickers from dealer if im not mistaken.

 

and those companies still sell **** that doen't fit. aftermarket is a gamble, no way around it.

 

LKQ is going to find you a Salvage part, thats what there big on now. And like jasoncrashtech said it is a "gamble" sometimes aftermarket doesnt fit that bad, sometimes its the worst thing in the world

 

I have used some parts from LKQ and Sorta fit that actually fit I couldnt beleave it... 99 percent of the time you have to "correct" it...
