| Is that a Nissan part... fit looks pretty good. How did the coristion application look on the inside? |

It wasn't Nissan part, I ordered off ebay from unique-customs. I see no difference between the OEM and the original one replaced. |

Yes, I'm very satisfied w/ the fit, finish and the quality (CAPA certified), of course the save on $$$! I will do the same if (hopefully not but who knows since it's the wife's car...) any other body part gets damaged in the future. |

Yes, you can ask them to paint for you by giving them the color code. The color matches pretty well on mine, at least myself wasn't able to tell the difference. The car is four years old, however it's been parked mostly in the garages, I guess that the distortion by UV on the car was minimum.
They do accept color samples for perfect match if you have concerns regarding the color matches. I was about to send them the gas tank cover at the beginning however after taking the condition of the car in the consideration I decided just to give them the color code (R10 for sunlit copper). I'm so glad that it turned out that I was right. |

Hey guys, great website!! Just wanted to let everyone know that this is available, and not just for Nissan fenders, but pretty much any recent model. We sell both fenders and bumpers, painted and cleared to your paintcode. We are on ebay also, and will be starting our own website shortly. You can call us and ask for any parts you may need, we can order and paint any part, aftermarket or OEM, for you and save you a ton from going to a local body shop. We are the company that sold this sunlit copper Murano fender. I have to also mention that orangish reds like that are among the most difficult to match perfectly, but as you can see it came out pretty good, and would look better in the sunlight. Please feel free to call us if you need any painted parts, we'd love to help you!
