My dad is buying a 4th gen Camaro from me that needs the left rear quarter panel replaced. I've found prices as low as $495 (not including shipping) on a GM rear quarter. Are there any aftermarket sources out there that make a good part for less $$?

I bought the entire rear section of a scrap'd early 4th gen firebird, brought it to my body man, and he drilled out the welds on my and the donor rears. Then lined up the new rear quarter, holding it with vice grips or what not, and re tack welded in the original position. Now after painting etc, it looks like factory.
Im not sure what a replacement fender consists of, but I wouldnt go with anything other than an entire replacement from welds to welds.
Plus that entire rear cost me less than what youve just listed, lol.

Yeah, knowing how cheap my dad is I imagine he will probably be scouring the salvage yards for a quarterpanel instead of buyin a new GM panel. He will probably spend a couple hundred dollars in gas looking for one!

I bought 1/4 of a Camaro and put it in my Jeep cheaper than a new panel and you get extra metal you might need
My friend was laughing his ass off when I brought it to him
