Thankyas! I got the fenders off ebay, it turned out to be a local place. The shop was just off of SE Marine Dr. in Van...I forget the exact street name. I was going west, and had to turn left near the car dealerships...I went in about a block and then busted a right; the shop was right there. If you need the name of the place I can do more digging and find it for you, I got them over two summers ago.

When I got them, the guy told me that their parts had a 95% chance of fitting. I put mine on by myself and they're pretty good. The gap is a little wider between the hood and the fender but whatever...when I have it repainted one day, I'll have it fixed then.
I'd recommend having a body shop doing it though, I had such a pain in the ass getting them on. Bolts that were virtually inaccessible broke, I hurt myself a few times, and then I came pretty close to just losing it.

One other thing worth mentioning...if you do get them and a shop does it for you, ask them if they can cut holes in the engine bay facing the vents. I'm still wanting to do mine, but just have no time or patience for it. It would really help with air circulation and cooling for summer!
