Default Just side swiped a mailbox, need parts websites

Ok so on the way home, like an idiot, i was spitting a loogie(sp?) out the window and all of a sudden bam. I side swiped a brick mailbox and lost a mirror. Also, the right front fender is dented/scratched. The door is scratched but just on the paint surface, nothing too deep, but the back right fender is dented and cracked.

I need to know some good websites that sell OEM parts, so I can have my shop install them. I found a site that will send me a painted front fender with my paint code, for 249.00 shipped. HERE

Im just looking for a good site that can ship me a right side mirror, and maybe a rear fender as well. If you guys know any sites like the one i posted, or if any of you guys are selling parts from your cars, please let me know.

The car is still drive able, thank fully the damage was only cosmetic.

www.courtesyparts.com

They're located in Richardson, TX, so it's relatively local to you as well. Make sure you order online or by phone/in person with part no. if you want the online/cheaper pricing.

lol thanks guys. the mailbox is perfectly fine, it was brick.
I ordered the front fender, and found a new mirror on ebay, total for both of those is 486.
My shop said they can fix the rear fender and install my new parts i ordered for around 950, so its not as bad as I thought. I'm just going to have to be driving around with crappy side for a week or 2. I'm calling my car two face.

Bad news for you. You can't replace the rear fender like you can the front fender (it's spot welded onto the frame, ask me how I know)

You'll have to repair the rear fender by pulling it and laying some bondo over it.

What is there to explain? That's just an estimate of what needs work (and the process is explained under "operation" and "description"), estimated labor hours, and how much everything will cost.
