front fender

so i mangled my front pass. fender plowing into someone in slow traffic
needs to be replaced.
is the front fender a big job to replace?
what would you suggest?
go to a junkyard?
how would i find a junkyard here in NJ?
then i'll have to get painted.
i could take the fender to a shop and have them paint it.
but the car has 160k on it.....it won't match....but i dont really care.
think i could find a laguna green pass. fender in a NJ junkyard?
think i could get it off the internet?
the front fender isn't that big...it could be sent UPS.
what would you do?

I think you really need to inspect the damage and determine if it's just the fender that is damaged and not anything else. You may have bent other things that would prevent a new fender from fitting properly.

I would use this to help locate the parts you may need.

a fender isnt too easy to come by. there are a lot more junk yards in PA. hope you can fix it without getting ripped off from the dealer. or just go to a good body shop. fender only looks like a few bolts i think.
