Just curious if you’re fender swap worked out and what all it entailed in the end. Thanks.

i did some more research on some exploded views. the fasteners and grommets were all needed regardless and the one part in question should work as well. found it for $18.00 shipped on ebay, if for some reason it doesnt work i will resell on Ebay or just eat the cost. the sub frame under the fenders is similar enough that i should be able to get that fender stay installed. side note i am a architectural sheet metal worker so i am handy with manipulating metal. i appreciate all the help on this site

You might should have waited...that stuff may do you no good.

i found one on Ebay ordered it and alot of other fasteners and grommets

I have seen body work between the early models that is not transferable with late model. Probably the same goes for bracketry. Hopefully someone more certain will chime in here.

It shows something, maybe plate bracket/turn signals bolting thru the stay then the fender. I think it might help keep the fender from cracking around those holes.

i see something like an inner fender on the parts site that says fender stay. does this hold taillight or turnsignals on? that is the part im questioning to buy. if i need it i will buy

The fender brace is important....not sure if its the same between 99-03 and 04+
