I called the two places i know that had OME type replacement front finders and they don't have them any more.... Does anyone know where to GET some?????

Fit-Right
Auto-fit
????

I've found a lot of fronts in my life. I could be the best front finder in history of all front finders.. so If you need a front I'll find it..

Try e-bay or certi-fit etc..for some fenders though.. They all come from the same place.

I got mine from partstrain.com... I thought it looked like poor quality before I ordered it, but so far so good.

I put my procurement hat on 6 months ago and validated Scott's claim that all aftermarket plastic CRX fenders/headers come out of the same mold in Tawian. (I was a plastic mold design/process engineer in a past lifetime, I could tell by the tooling marks in the insides of theparts.) I ran the wicket via 12 suppliers and it comes down to a pricing game. The cheapest I found was Autobodyparts.com. The internet price is average, but call 800 251-1209 and ask for Mark. I bought both fenders and header back in April for $356 shipping included. BUt it was a sale price, so you have to call.

Certifit does not ship and no longer stocks. But their fenders are $72-83 range per (very cheap, hell, guys are selling used OEM fenders w/ cracks for more than that). So call you local to see if they have one in stock, you never know...

Ebay guy is fair on price, but rapes you on shipping (like $65 per fender - and won't combine the order)

Let me know if you go w/ Mark and if the price is still holding.....

Appears no OEM fenders available (unless from personal stock someone is willing to sell)

Good luck and let me know

where'd you get your OEM NOS fenders from?

I just called the certi-fit here in Oklahoma and they had two Rights on the shelf, but no lefts. I bought them both. If anyone wants to trade a left for a right let me know.

I'll assume the new "guru of fenders finders" of the month club for July.....

Glad to hear you guys working the Certifit dealand willing to trade. THat's what I love about RPR - working together to help each other out... Okay, Chicago has like 5 of one side, Atlanta has 3-4 of another and Elpaso has like 4-5 of another. So if some of you are in those locations, you can clean out there stock and play the trade game. From what I've researched and got my hands on, I can tell all of these are from the same mold. So, for the day, Certifit has the best price until they run out. They no longer stock replennishments. So what they have, they won't replennish. Headers ran out a long time ago and no certifit has them.

When you've tapped out the certifit pipeline, then contact the following for best price. I called 6 months ago, so my data is old. You should do some leg work and see if you can save yourself some $.

1) autosdepot.com = ebay guy
2) crosscanadaparts.com and Sherman 586 677-6800 of Michigan. The US store sells cheaper than Canada.
3) Rock auto.com - sells sherman, but cheaper to buy sherman direct
4) Autoparts.com/autobodyparts.com/usautoparts.com all carry "replacement" brand (which are still Tawian, but procured from different distributor. These guys use the p/ns molded into the part 1382-1 = RH fender, 1382-2 = LH fender and 1382-3 = header.

So call each one and see if you can deal. Like I said, I bought all three for 356 from autobodyparts.com. But call and see if yo ucan get a deal. They were willing to do volume deals, so if you know guys in your area, then do a batch order.

Okay, off my highhorse. Good luck and let me know what you find. my info is 6 months old and possibly outdated by now.

Viscious, Alister was kind enough to part w/ his personal set of NOS fenders for my low mileage. I SHit a brick when he told me he had them. I owe him big time. I have the highest respect for this guy. I'll be supplying him w/ TX car bodies here shortly to "return the favor"....

Can OR Will anyone By a Set and 1 left finder or just 1 left finer and ship it to me....Help Help to 85233

[greasemonkeyreborne 5x1g's]

You know, if we were smart, someone would buy up one site, and someone else buy up the other. Show up to the same meet and have sale. The certifits are by far the cheapest out there, if you can work around the shipping.

Don't bother w/ the one in Dallas. I forget which side it is, but it has an 8 inch crack in it. The bonehead put it back into stock thinking someone will buy it (4 months ago). So I can't help you from here. TX is a big state. El Paso is more than a 10hr drive for me.

Hay Grease, what about that Phone # (Mark)????

Let me know if you go w/ Mark and if the price is still holding.. I would like to try him

[greasemonkeyreborne 5x1g's]

Wentcrazy,

Mark was the phone operator of the shop I placed the order at. I"ll try the number tomorrow and get back w/ you. At the time, they had a "sale" if you called in. He said the "sale" was running for a while. My order amoratized out better on shipping since it was 3 parts.
