Rear Quarter panel rust

Does anybody know where i can find the precut metal fenders to replace existing quarter. I am not talking about the whole panel just maybe 4 inches above the bottom of the fender. I had a shop try to look up panels but only find panels for honda. thanks in advance.

something like this

This will not help you; the picture clearly shows that this qurter is a sculpture made of bondo. The best option in your case is to made the same sculpture from fiberglass bondo and sale the car, or replace 7-10 inches above. And if you are sure that you need 4 inches, then buy a front fender and cut a piece from it.

Why not just buy a whole rear quarter panel from Honda? Seems like you already found your solution.

Or find one at a junkyard in an area of the country where rust isn't an issue.

I think the OhhNoVtec is not ready for such luxury solutions

To me it looks like 80 grit sandpaper without water.

That rear panel is terrible because it's just a lip and a lot of crap can get in there. You need to clean it and add build up the area with sealant so that water and dirt will bead down from it. I have filled my up so it's a 45 degree angle so nothing stays there too long. You still need to clean it after the winter and reseal it when you change your tires.

@Acura TL Builder talks about rust development on these areas in one of his videos.
