Default Is this hard to replace?

Not sure the proper name but its the bottom half of the front wheel well.Kinda hard to see in the pics but on the passenger side it is cracked looks like from scraping.Is this common?Can I buy a used one fairly cheap from someone that may have did a wide body?Any advise would be appreciated

If this had been July, I would have given you one. I threw away a pair when I moved. Check with someone doing a wide body, as you replace (rear) the inner fender when you do the wide body.

You can buy a new one from Gene Culley at GMPartsHouse.com

It is good that it is in the front, we all have a crack already in our rear.
