Replacing plactic wheel well, drivers side front.
So the other day I hit a blown semi tire in the road, now my front wheel well on the drivers side is gone except for a few pieces left hanging. I've done my research and know this can be a common problem. Anyone know the best place to get one? I want it to fit right and they are not really expensive at around $50 from a dealership, but don't mind saving a few bucks if I can. Is it easy to replace?

Is part number NI1250133 at RockAuto the one I need? At only $13 there must be something I'm missing when OEM is $40-$50?

Pretty easy to replace, but if it was violently torn out, you very likely had some plastic clips destroyed. Get a replacement from the dealer, and ask for all of the clips that hold it in. Better to have too many than too few. Any screws are probably still there... Often though, when a fender liner is ripped out like that, the fender could be damaged. Pull the wheel off when you do the job so that you can access all the places where the liner is attached. Check the fender at the places where the liner is attached and look for damage. At the very least you may need to bend some tabs back into place.
