Default fender bender. need help

Hey guys, i need a new rear fender for the right side of my 2011 v6 mustang.
Any ideas where i can get a OEM version of it or maybe know the price for the actual ford one?
and also, if you can leave the website for the OEM or original i would appreciate it very much. got to get this fixed asap.

Thanks for your time

The rear fender is called the "quarter panel" and it has to be welded in.
So much for ASAP.

No after market is ever made for that part, it's always an OEM item.
For the 05/09, the quarter retails for $690 last time I checked.
It should be in the same ballpark for the 2010 and up I suppose.
Also, most likely it will have to be ordered...
Check with your Ford dealer first thing in the morning.

Good luck.

Hi jaskar1014,

Ouch! You must be so sad. You might find what you are looking for on FordParts.com. If not, your dealer will be able to provide an estimate. Best of luck!

I bet you could also call some wrecking yards and find one in new condition for A LOT cheaper than buying a new one from Ford.
Many yards will call other yards for you and search till they find one too!

You might try newtakeoff.com as well.

Good idea if your company won't pay for it... What about insurance? Or is that what you meant by company lol?

No! Hell no!!
It's twice the labor.
Bone yards give you the whole section from a wrecked car.
You have to trim, (unweld) the skin carefully from the chunk before you can use it on your car.
The price difference doesn't jive on this one.

And newtakeoff won't cut a part out for you and the shipping charges would ruin your profit.

let someone own a body shop and they think they know it all

BTW you own it in my mind and even if you yourself tell me otherwise I refuse to believe it

The body shop will get you a new OEM quarter panel and your insurance will cover it. EzPz.
