Question about fenders.
After a parking lot accident yesterday, I will need a left rear quarter panel and a rear facial. Are these parts still produced OEM? Aftermarket that are GM certified? She's my baby and I'm not going to settle for anything but the best. The lady who hit me has State Farm and so do I so in hoping it will be a smooth transaction. If I had some extra jingle hanging around it would be the perfect time to go wide booty!

make sure the insurance company takes care of you and contact Marc at vettenuts for a used oem replacement rear quarter and bumper... he might even have them in red to save you the cost of paint... and if you have the money to do wide fenders contact Dennis at DD mods... it sucks that your car got hit but it wasn't a bad hit at all and in the end it might work out for the better

Man if you're wanting to go wide now is the time. Get an estimate and see how much they estimate the damage. You can usually work with the body shop and.order in the parts you want. State farm may just cut you a check. You may be.able to get the wide rear quarters for what they estimate for one oem rear quarter. Sorce the rear.bumper from either vettenuts or a few other corvette salvage yards. Dino's corvette salvge. They usually have rear fascias with no damage. Quality oem parts at half the cost.

Would be a great time to do the wide fender mod to the car.
