I have a small bit of rust right behind my drivers side wheel well. I'm trying to find a whole piece to replace it with. If anyone has one of these sitting around for some reason send me a message with a price. Camera wasn't working so I couldn't get a pic, I just put some generic pics up so you could see which piece it is.
So OP you're looking for a new LF fender? I can see what my discount would be on one for you if so. Finding a used one could be possible, although may be difficult. How bad is it? Not a simple fix at this point?.?.
Yes basically. It's a strip. It's been painted over once and I have more plans for my 02 rex and I wanna keep it rust free so it looks nice and purty Ill post a pic later when I get home from school.
Sorry about the wait guys my internet was being stupid at home and then I got busy was prom on saturday and track and work lol...so i had to resize it. Hope you can still tell what piece I need.
That fender trim is the problem man. I def recommend removing that and not re-installing with the new fenders. That's beyond fixing though I agree with you there.
Road salt. Other factors: not giving the car a good wax job once in a while (especially before winter), not cleaning it frequently, driving the car through gravel where rocks can be sprayed against the paint, lack of mud flaps, etc.
Shitty thing is that it was completely painted over when we bought it so we never even knew it was there until the paint chipped back. We thought it was just some touch up paint run. I plan on replacing the fender. Then painting the whole car this summer. I have a paint booth so my dad and I plan to try and tackle that this summer.
you can probably take off the fender, take it to a body shop, have them sand blast it, fill it a little if they really need to, and re-paint it to match. It'd probably cost ~$500
