Just replace the fenders...

go to http://www.autobodypartsonline.com and get the ones that are certified

You should be able to get the fenders painted for like $100 USD each

i mostly need the rear ones, which the site doesnt have. so bascially this is what it comes down to price wise
200$(CAD) for the all 4 pieces. $150 (CAD) to paint all 4.
total of 350$ (CAD) to get pieces + paint... then theres install which im worried about!

I would definately try to go with oem body parts form experience, and if you must buy aftermarket, be sure by way of a third party that the quality and *fit* is good. If you have good parts, the install of the fenders should go relatively smooth. When you refer to the "rear fenders," however, replacing these panels has a lot more involved. Cutting, welding, grinding, filling and painting. This is much harder and unless you've done it before or are serious about learning, I'd put the front ones on myself and take it to a qualified shop for the quarter panels if I were you.

you are talkin about replacing the quarter panels and that is a pain to cut and weld.

btw im not going to being installing these. i would take them to a mechanic that i trust and keep going back to. get him to bascially do everything. my rear fenders are the worst on my car. i dont really care about the color of the fenders at the moment just to get rid of that damn rust and bondo john job on my car. i can get my stuff painted once my friend moves into his shop. what would you think the labour would be approx?
