Hey guys, I have a 94 coupe with a nasty dent, in front of the rear wheel and just extending into the passenger door. It sucks. I've pretty much established that the dent is beyond repair. So I've been searching around for the rear quarter without luck. Can anyone point me where I might be able to find an aftermarket panel? If it's even available? Just to clarify, im trying to get my hands on the whole piece that goes from the tail light to the door jamb, and up and over the door glass to the A pillar.

Thanks for the replies. I need more than just the wheel arch piece. I need the whole skin that goes from tail light to door jamb..

yes, except I've got a coupe.. Isn't there anyone who makes it aftermarket? Maybe ill just have to get it pulled and then filler, if I can find someone to do it.

there's not gonna be any aftermarket companies making that whole piece. fixmyrust has the largest replacement quarters.
keep an eye on CL for hatch part-outs with a good quarter to cut out

well the whole quarter pice is like 600 and instalation is quite expensive. I an autobody tech and i would suggest you just grind it off then take a pinwelder and pull out the dent, and just with a little plastic filler wala good as new, and for the door, if its only on the edge you can do the same process, or just get a new door/doorskin.
