I had a fender bender yesterday and need to replace my Driver-side rear fiberglass fender..

When I bought the car, the PO said the fenders were 1.5" wider than stock.

I can only seem to find ones as small as 2" wider than stock.

came to about 16 1/4" to the edge of the fender...

Does anybody know what I have here? Con someone measure the stock fender for me? I'd hate to have to replace both fenders...

ANY help is greatly appreciated...

Consider repairing the fender you have.
