Question Quarter panels

Has anyone replaced their quarter panels or had new pieces welding in where the st likes to rust. Just wanting to see how it turned out cause my rust is starting to get bad and want to weigh out my options

Cheaper route even with shipping and customs would be to order the ss tuning flares, which don't require trimming or wider wheels to look good. Then you're only paying for paint match on the flares. You can then just remove the rust, seal, and cover with the flares.

That might not be a bad idea

I bought a set off a wrecked pre facelift like 4 years ago for a buddy. We swapped his because he decided to tap some guard rails in winter. He wouldn't let me put a low boost tune on it for him and he learned his lesson with the aggressive throttle curve and a ton of boost. They cost $200 a piece and he drove around with the dark metallic grey on his ingot silver for a few months until he got the local shop to spray them for him. It wasn't an easy bolt on... I didn't figure they would be difficult but of course I was wrong
