07 Wrangler Parts

[jasonjuch]

Fiance just called saying she wrecked the front corner of her 07 Wrangler 4-door. Since it will be my vehicle after we get married and move to the east coast I want to fix it up with some nice fenders. I know nothing about jeeps so what company should I start looking at? I want to be able to fit some larger tires next time we change tires on it. Also if any of yall have stock parts laying around I'm interested in just fixing it cheap too.

I'll be getting pictures soon but she said the headlight, grill, and fender look messed up and the bumper has a crack on the end piece.

i saw poison spider when I looked at jb's front tube fenders. I'm sure they have something but I know nothing about jeeps.

[jasonjuch]

I'll probably buy these for now to fix the bumper end piece

Are they black plastic fenders or painted? Those VDP bumper end caps are nice if you want to keep the stock bumper. We have a ton of nearly new take-off flares and bumpers if you need any of it. It's all in Dallas, but I'll make you a deal on whatever you need.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you and Hannah are doing alright.

I'm pretty sure they were green but I don't mind black ones. She's still at work and hasn't sent pics yet. I'll let you know later tonight what I need and since I'm in Waco maybe I can drive up there Thursday or Friday before I head down to see her Saturday. What would you need for one fender if you have the stock green color, or two black fenders as well as a bumper?

Just buy some form of stubby bumper. those factory bumpers bring the gay. And you could mount a winch to it later

[jasonjuch]

so she hit the pole and the bumper end cap completely bent out of the way, damaged the actual fender, fender flare, grille, and headlight, then she backed up and the bumper end poped back into place and looks like nothing happened to it. So the JK bumper end pieces are useless.

I'm going to focus on trying to find a color matched fender(front quarter panel) and grille on ebay or junkyard this weekend then look into the fender flares.

Go to an advance and see if they can call salvage for you. They can get parts from across the country.

[jasonjuch]

she wants me to buy any color grille and paint it like this. what do yall think it would cost to just get it powder coated?

[Sparling]

between 50 and 100 depending on where you go

[TdmayfieldIV]

I thought the grille was plastic on those.

There's a shiny black one on rock auto for $80. If you want it matte, just take it to a body shop and have them paint it, shouldn't be too expensive.

[jasonjuch]

Have any of yall heard of this?? They say they paint the fender based on my factory paint code and ship it to me. $280 sounds like a deal when the fenders are selling at $150 unpainted. I would think this would be better than a Maaco paint job?

[jasonjuch]

just did my research. Looks like the paint would match well enough for my taste. It's a jeep. But I don't think I want to live with fiance telling me everyday that the paint doesn't match perfect.

[Sparling]

Damn Women.

Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

[jasonjuch]

Well i ordered the fender on ebay with the paint service. Arrived at the door with the worst packaging I've ever seen but no real damage. Put it on the jeep and the paint is a perfect match. I'll post a picture later but I highly recommend that company if anyone is looking for a part that is already painted to match the factory color.

Damn, I am glad that worked out well!!!
