    Good afternoon everyone! Let’s say I had a little altercation with our mailbox (biggest snowstorm since blizzard in Tennessee this week). Everything is pure ice. I have found a fender that is OEM at car-part.com… it’s a paint match but I am leery of salvage yards… my question is this… the 16 fender should fit my 21, correct? Also, should I worry about major paint fade issues with a 5 year older fender? The part is about 3 hours away from me and would save me a bunch of money of getting a new one. Thoughts? Thanks everyone!

    If it’s the front passenger fender, might be time for an eBay snorkel, maybe it’ll cover the damage.

    there are 2 blacks, 2016 is the black and 18 or 19-22 are midnight black metallic. So different blacks

    Even if it was the same paint code, I doubt a 5 yo fender will match. On a a 2-3 yo truck, I’d take in for proper repairs, but everyone has different situations and expectations.

    SR fenders arnt the same as higher trim models since they dont have the plastic clip on fender flares. Just an FYI
