quality fender?

had a small run in with the work truck few weeks back, replaced everything and shes ready to get the hood repainted now. i have a fender thats going to get bad so im replacing it while shes at the paint booth. Im looking for a quality fender that someone may have had luck with but didnt bend over and take it hard for price.

seems i find a 300$ fender from NPD and then a really cheap fender with a savings of 600 from 700 to 80$ LOL

any one have any suggestions?? if i bumped into the fender or knock on it and it dents id be pissed!

Pick and pull is the best bet, and you have a number of years to choose from.
The Chinese fenders are just garbage.

Id go to a scrap yard steve. If need be have the thing bead blasted. Use a good epoxy primer! The aftermarket hong kong stuff never lines up right.

I'm looking at ones from Rockauto.com right now. They have CAPA certified which I think is the better quality. Cost about $100.

The best quality aftermarket parts I have ever used have come from Keystone (LKQ)

CAPA parts sometimes have a better warranty than OE..

LKQ Corporation - Parts for Collision Repair

Get your best price from any where, & they will try to match it...
