Let me see if I can find the place I bought mine from.Anyone know of a good aftermarket fender? I've heard Crown can be spotty and I definitely don't trust those cheap ebay listings...

I actually have a pair of aftermarket pre-painted fenders I got off eBay. I sealed all the seams underneath and they are still in perfect shape after 3 years. They seem well made and the fit is great. The paint match isn't perfect (silver in my case), but I'm not too particular.Anyone know of a good aftermarket fender?

I think this is the guy I bought it from. I cannot find the receipt which is weird cause I keep all my receipts under lock and key so the boss (wife) can't find them. I think mine was little more expensive because it was painted. They also shipped some touch-up paint.Let me see if I can find the place I bought mine from.
No reptuable painter/bodyshop is going to paint over a dent.Let's say that is a little rust spot...still worth it? maybe buff it out before the paint?
The insurance party at fault is responsible for finding the parts, its you who has to push them to find OEM parts/reconditioned parts. They will, they just want to cut corners and cost.wasn't my fault and insurance is covering 100% of damage
It can be done. I’ve done it.Also, does anyone know how realistic it is to ask for my insurance company to pay me what the body shop estimated and then just buy these parts and do it myself?
The best fenders are OEM, No way around it. Aftermarket stuff isn't even comparable.Anyone know of a good aftermarket fender? I've heard Crown can be spotty and I definitely don't trust those cheap ebay listings...
My last settlement on body damage went very well...I had the insurance company claims rep look at the damage. I accepted his check for 20% more than the highest body shop estimate. The insurance rep couldn't care less about how I got it fixed. Moreover, if you become your own body shop, nothing will appear in the accident (carfax) history.Also, does anyone know how realistic it is to ask for my insurance company to pay me what the body shop estimated and then just buy these parts and do it myself?
