Fenders for my FC are $150. Is this OEM mazda or replicas made out of sheetmetal?

keep in mind that locally the price for those fenders is like $90



there is no voctoria british dealer, they are made by taiwan companies and victoria british sells them



the only part of my car that has any waves in it is the new door I got from the dealer, ******* thing must have gotten tweaked a little or something, didnt really show up until you paint it black, even with blocking good primer down before paint.



they are mazda body parts, not something exotic



2005 taiwan **** is right up there with mazda quality from the 80s anyhow, alot of the mazda stock has been floating around for years and isnt all that great anyways

I ordered the fender for my vert for 124 bucks from 1autoparts or something like that online.



124 with shipping and everything. It was perfect and fit right on. no dings, waves or anything.

Miracle! Like Rob said, FB & C sheetmetal parts are usually beat to hell.
