Re: Fender Replacement

Thanks!

I found some of these on Ebay!

Any idea what the part # is for the retainers that have the phillips screwdriver slots? They hold in the front bumper from both above and below as well as at the back of the front fender where the side rail is.

Thanks again!

Yep... Mine was similar to that >.< a few weeks ago. How did you clean it? So far I just wiped down the engine cover, and then sprayed simple green all over and then rinsed off with the hose. (No spray attachement etc)

Definitely gonna need to use a brush or wipe it though.
