Maybe I read that wrong and if its $199.99 for just the panel, then that sounds about right =)

Damn fenders take the tune money right out of your pocket hehe

Yes, it is just the fender, I get to do the painting. List was around $270. All the used ones were either sold or had damage and were in the $140 range. The offshore parts were in the same price range as the used, so I decided to spend a few more bucks and go with OEM. Added bonus is that I dont have to pay for shipping, some places were charging over $100 to ship due to size and the extra packaging.

You will be glad you spent the extra money on an oem one. There isn't a lot of adjustment on those fenders once you get all the bolts in.

Just picked up the fender from Chevy. Not a scartch or dent! They really package it for commercial shipment. Short of driving over it with a forklift, it would be tough to damage. As soon as we get some drier weather, I wll paint it and install.
