I went to the body shop to see how much these fenders would cost to be painted and I was told 600.00 dollars. The reason is the fenders have to be welded up at those seams in front. I don't understand why some company would put us owners though this, why wouldn't they make these fenders like our originals. I have a good mind to send them back. I almost want to just install them the way they are and not worry about it.
