FOR SALE: Torch Red C5 driver's side front fender. This will fit all Corvettes from 1997-2004. These retail new from GM for over $500 so a used one is worth a look.

I am asking $150 + shipping. I will only charge actual shipping so buy the fender and let me know what shipping you prefer. I can do it on the cheap too.

Overall this fender is good. If you are looking for a perfect fender to bolt right on for your perfect C5 then this is probably not it (they don't cost $150). If you are ok with one that needs some TLC or maybe a respray then you have found the right fender. To be honest if you could find a way to address #5 below this fender would actually look pretty decent with a nice buff and some TLC. There are scratches on this one but they look like they could be cleaned up.

I want to point out some points of interest. See the numbers in the pictures for exact locations and their detailed explanation below.

#1 - The rear most bolt hole tab is not there. When I was mocking up this fender to my car I added an additional hole that will help secure to the stock location on your C5. This hole missing did not impact my ability to get the fender to line up properly. The main holes that you absolutely need to have are all undamaged.

#2 - there is a little piece missing from the very front here. You can't really see it and it doesn't affect anything. Just trying to be really honest here.

#3 - There is a little crack here. Just on the inside and nothing that you would be able to see. My bodyshop said it was not a big deal at all to fix.

#4 - There is a little ding here. My body shop said it can be fixed pretty easily. In the garage under bright lights I didn't even notice it. It was only when I brought it to my body shop did they point it out.

#5 -The paint is flaking off in these areas. There is no damage other than that.

I know this seems likes a big list. It's really not I am just trying to be real honest (unlike the guy I bought this from).

Why am I selling? I ending up getting a deal on another fender (I was looking for a A1 fender) so I am letting this one for for $50 less than I paid for it.

As you can also see from the pictures when this fender is mocked up against my C5 the body lines all line up and it looks nice.

Shipping - that is going to be a little painful. I have a fender box and I will need to purchase some extra packing material so I would guess that you are looking between $100-$150 for shipping on this one. These fenders go for $500+ shipping new from GM so your still way ahead of the game. The box is 61"x10"x35" (about 25 lbs) if you want to estimate shipping company of your choice. I can also find a much cheaper way ($50-$75) if you don't want it shipped in a box.

Buy with confidence. Your dealing with an honest guy. I will accept offers.
