Fenders whose swage lines flow into the door skin the way they were designed to.
Fender gaps tell the whole story of a repair. Ours arrive with the stamp geometry the door and hood expect — so the reveal at the A-pillar isn't the tell that this was a collision car.

What our fender program guarantees
Fenders live at the intersection of hood, door, headlight, and bumper cover. A bad fender wrecks four gaps at once. We select stampings that maintain factory bend radii along the swage line and body-line character — the ones a resale inspector reads first.
Fender replacement scenarios
Corner-impact collisions
The classic fender-and-headlight combo hit — often includes the wheel liner.
Rust-through repairs
Salt-belt vehicles corrode along the top and wheel arch; replacement is faster than cut-and-weld.
Post-modification restoration
Removing fender flares or lift kits sometimes requires re-skinning to factory.
Fender damage that means replace
Sheet metal has a memory. Some damage never really comes out:
- Deep creases along the character line that reflect in paint
- Perforation from underneath at the wheel-arch lip
- Cracked inner apron mounting flange
- Prior repairs revealing wave in modern paint

Stamping materials
High-strength low-alloy steel
The workhorse — bends and welds cleanly for shop-standard repair.
Aluminum alloy
Increasingly common on premium and half-ton pickups. Requires isolated tools.
Ordering fenders that don't come back
Verify the year range explicitly
Mid-cycle refreshes change fender stampings even when the badge doesn't change.
Order the liner too
Wheel liners deform with the fender. A fresh fender against an old liner traps water at the seam.
Check marker light provision
Some fenders have an amber marker hole, some don't. Match to the exact vehicle.
Fender questions from the paint booth
- How is the fender primed?
- Fenders arrive in EDP-quality primer, ready for a standard prep, seal, base, and clear cycle.
- Do you carry left and right in stock?
- Yes. Both sides of every stocked platform are on the floor — no waiting for a side-specific reorder.
- Can I get aluminum fenders for a late-model half-ton?
- Yes, where the vehicle came factory-aluminum. We ship these with isolated packaging to protect the finish.
