I need help finding a good source for quality new or rust free used front fenders for my 87 xr7 with light holes. Canadian sources preferred but I'll consider anything. Thanks :canada:
There are a few fiberglass sources out there (ie hairyglass.com ), but usually the entire front clip. The other members should know some sources for rare/discontinued replacemnt parts.

Has anyone used CrossCanada's fenders? How well do they fit? I know I'd have to cut the corner light holes myself, but that's not a problem. Realistically, I think I'd prefer good used Ford parts though. Does anyone know of any southern parts dealers?
I put Cross Canada fenders on my '87 T-Bird Sport and was not particularly impressed - they were paper thin and the holes to mount the header panel were not there. Neither was the antenna hole. The door cutout was not really correct either - it was too close at the top, too close at the bottom, and too far in the middle. I was still happy to have 'em though, considering the rust my existing fenders had. Before I installed 'em I painted the inside and around the trim holes silver because I didn't really trust that factory black primer:

Now the Cross Canada fenders I put on the Dakota were perfect (they even had the correct mounting holes for the computer, relays and washer bottle), and they seem to be a thicker metal than the T-Bird fenders were, so they may have been from a different manufacturer.
there's a company called quinty that sell them as well but i can't find any links to them.most auto parts stores should be able to get them or at least they an around here.
Napa auto parts can also get fenders for our cars,looked into it a few years ago,where about 165.00ea.
Thanks for the input everybody :bowdown:
