$130 repo or $400 ford tooling fender? Whats your advice?
I need a new left front fender for my girl that I crunched in a parking lot. The fender is no great loss as its a "made in taiwan" from about 1994. I have always hated it (the car agreed with me on that one). The ford tooling fenders are supposed to be better, but they are REALLY expensive in comparison. I could get 3 repro fenders for the cost of one ford tooling. I am looking at it more than doubling the cost of the repair once paint and other parts are considered. Any experience? Also, I have seen them as high as $480 and as low as $300, are there any differences?
