Default Fender

So I need a new drivers side front fender and I see some on ebay for cheap. Wondering if anyone has delt with buying body parts and how the quality is.
Also just to be sure, this will fit my 94 civic coupe right!

I'm sure they aren't made by Honda. But how good a fender do you need for a 1994 vehicle. No dents should be good. I would buy the cheapest one I could get.

Yea I mean it is an 18 year old car. I'm funny I care more about how they run than what they look like. We have a 98 Blazer 4x4 & the clear coat is getting bad that she drives. I keep telling her I'm going to walmart & buy flat black & tan & camo & paint the damn thing outside with spray cans.
Our 90 Honda is white & has a few small dents but overall in very good shape. My mom bought it new & drove it until 2009. & it only had 100,000 miles on it when she gave it to my wife. But if I was doing as you I would just buy the cheapest part I could find that was clean & straight.

That seems like a good price. Nothing wrong with stuff from NAPA. I don't like their line to compete with all the discount houses but their better line is good stuff.

Finally got the go ahead from the wife today to order my fender, so I go to Napa after work to see what they could do. They could get it but it was $160.. Then after talking with a few of them the recommend me to a local guy they call Russian Mike. He sells new and used civic parts from a junkyard just outside of town. I call him up and now have a brand new black fender coming in this thursday for $45..

Glad you got one coming. I wondered about $60 from NAPA. $160 sounds more like it from them.
