i will be needing a driver side fender and a new front bumper for my car, the problem is that the local salvage yards don't have any newr montes, so if someone could give me a website or something that sells factory body parts, that would be great. thanks</P>

Earthquake,



Have you googled it? Google is a very powerful search tool for these types of things....

 

i just tried google, and the first site i went to had body parts that i wanted. i'm gonna have to start using that more often. thanks.</P>

 

Anytime Earthquake.... I have become addicted to Google.... lol

 

also, how hard is it to install a new driver side fender and front bumper cover? is it something i could do at home, or is it something i want to have someone do for me.

 

Earth,

Of my experience, those are fairly easy to install. Unless you have been in an accident that may have caused other frame or support damage. Otherwise should be a remove and install thing...

 

well the car was my brother's before mine, and he rear ended somebody and we already got a new hood on, but I don't know if it did any frame damage or any other damge beside the body. how would i go about checking this?

 

Earth,

I would look for any visible signs of damage like stretched bolt holes, abnormal frame or support creasing, cracked frame or support rails. Metal in most cases can be very forgiving and can bent, pounded and formed back into shape. If you know someone that has a vehicle similar to yours compare the engine bay areas where the damage occurred. There are some vehicles out there that have plastic or fiberglass radiator support columns, which if damaged or cracked simply have to be replaced. I don’t think this should be a problem in your case.

Let us know how everything works out..!!!
