I have a 98 XJ in gunmetal pearl (tq7/pq7) and am in need of a front clip, hood, and driver's side fender. The jeep was in an accident while the previous owner had it and the panels have been replaced but were very poorly painted, with him then having yet another accident and crunching the fender again. I don't need a full front clip, just the surround, no buckets or grill. I know paint and new panels would probably be the easiest route, but I don't feel like dealing with a shop, nor do i have the skill or resources to paint and blend. Any and all help is appreciated!

 

Have you checked the Craigslist, Fb marketplace and OfferUp yet ?
I think Car-Parts . Com let's you check wrecking yards all over the country.

Checking inventory of the Pick n Pull and the Pull a Part type places within an hour drive of family and friends to have them greb what you need is a good excuse as any for a road trip.

 

I've looked at all of the yards around here without any luck. The one time they had an xj in the same color the panels were in even worse shape than mine. I just tried that site, and nothing appears around me, and I really don't wanna ship that stuff. I know how easily fiberglass breaks, and I don't want my fender to show up looking like a taco.
