Does anyone have a source of OEM body parts from aftermarket companies? I am looking for a hood and fenders for my Sentra. Rock auto has good prices for what I need, but shipping is what kills me.

Really my only requirements are that the parts have some sort of finish on them, since I will not be having them painted right away.

Thanks!

I bought my whole front end from Certifit.com

They do have a finish on them, but you can always through a can of primer on it to be safe.

Thanks man. I'll check them out. How was the fit and durability compared to OEM stuff? Was the metal noticeably thinner?

I'm open to other suggestions as well.

EDIT: autopartswarehouse is more expensive then getting the body parts directly from Nissan.

I don't want all carbon fiber, because it's a bit too much flash for the direction I want to go. I'll be getting rid of my current wheels with the polished lip for the same reason as well.

Jeff, I need new driver front/rear and passenger front/rear window moldings and those trim pieces. Hook me up with some good prices. LOL

I don't like the sound of that!

After the sort-a-fit comment from igo4bmx, I'll probably contact you in a bit. Should I just shoot you a PM when I'm set? Thanks Jeff!

You tell me.:)

Metal wasn't really changed much, it's not like tinfoil or anything. Fitment was surprisingly good.

Oh, 2 fenders and the front bumper was $70.:)

Been there. I had several people who were going to do a trade for my CF hood, both flaked out. I'm tired of waiting for people who change their mind but won't respond to messages to tell you that. :rolleyes:
