Buying a used fender: what to check
- Confirm left vs right side. Listings frequently mislabel driver and passenger fenders.
- Check for pulled or elongated bolt holes, a sign of prior collision repair.
- Ask whether the inner liner and moldings are included.
- Same-color panels save paint costs; verify the paint code, not just the color.
