I almost guarantee a body shop will just want to replace it. A brand new OEM fender is probably under $300 from the dealer, plus another $150 to have it painted. It'll cost way more than that in labor to work it back to straight unless they use a ton of bondo. If you can find a nice used fender at a yard and have it painted (or better yet in the right color), then swap them out on your own, that's definitely the way to go. suspenceful, patsbimmer1, KaiserRolls and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to replace it im just gonna say no. i can get a primered one online for about 50$. then ill just paint it myself, theres a local place that mixes paint and @Rekpoint and i will go in together on a paint gun.

Earl Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Put jack pads in immediately. If you run a winter without them you can kiss your rockers goodbye KaiserRolls and m42b32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have a decent condition sedan fender that is black. You can have it if you want. I will have to check if it is the side marker style though. I live on I35 by the IA / MN border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suspenceful Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 My old coilovers live on, lol. They didn't ride very good when I installed them (new), I'm curious how they ride now that they have a lot of miles and with the different rear struts.

Sorry to see the fender carnage.Your old bumper M3 bumper is living on too! Need to do some bodywork then paint it to match my car! Hopefully I can salvage it with my very novice bodywork experience. Needs glue and a heat gun for the damage. We will see how things go I guess.

And they still ride kinda like ass lol. Not a big deal to me though, the rear raceland struts were pretty garbage and I am trying to ignore the fact that the fronts are probably the same way. I am planning on attending a few drift events this summer, so around that time I will see whether or not I'll need new coils. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basedspider Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 So, my cats are shitting out on me. It has the definite smell of cats going bad or clogged. OBD1 so no post cat o2 sensors. Any advice on the best way to do a cat delete? I want the car louder anyways, and now I have a reason to do it. I have little welding experience, and no welder.

B C Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Try a different brand of fuel. It may help with the rotten egg smell. You are getting the smell more because its cold and more unburned fuel is hitting the cats as you try to get up to operating temp, or when you get on the throttle hard and have that extra enrichment that doesnt burn completelyIf you choose to remove the cats-dont hollow them out, exhaust gas velocity will drop off a cliff and the dust formed from breaking up the catalyst substrate cannot be good for your health-find someone who can weld-install resonators because it will be rasp city.Just please think through it before attacking the car with a sawzall, I know the temptation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
