Welcome to the forum! Rear 1/4 panels wont be cheap anywhere you go. If you can get by with patch panels it will be much cheaper. Full 1/4's can be purchased at National Parts Depot for $100 ea. part #C 65890 1RH or 1LH depending on which side you need.

 

bare with me here im still learning lol i know alot about motors but this will be the first time i dive into body work my problem is the person i bought the car from tried putting firebird rear 1/4's on so im guessing i'll have to go with both sides full but 200$ isnt bad better then alot of other prices ive seen

 

Shipping is what really adds up when you're ordering large parts, but shipping will be equally high from everyone, unless you can find a supplier that's near you so you can pick them up.
Just one other small point, since you're new. It's CAMARO, not CAMERO. Might have to change your user name.

 

Not sure if you know about rockauto.com but that is the absolute cheapest place i've ever found to order just about ANYTHING you need for any vehicle. That website has saved me thousands over the last 2 years. On average, their prices are at least half (but usually much more) than anywhere else I've priced parts....especially the local auto parts stores. You should check them out. You'll be surprized at what a difference their prices are. BB427 is right though, shipping on body panels is ridiculous! Anytime I have ever ordered a part, they are on my doorstep within 2 days. Good luck.

 

I checked rockauto.com and the rear quarters part#s ccc69850L and ccc69850R and both $67.89 a piece. The patch panels are around $40 each. If you decide to order anything from them, give a shout on here, I also have a discount code I'll hook you up with and save you another 5% on anything you order.

Welcome BTW

 

sorry about the mess up on spelling guys i tried changing my name but it wont seem to let me. anyways ive actually bought from rock auto before really good site i'd agree shipping will more than likely end up hurting the pocket book pretty bad but i'd love to see this thing looking mint again. CAMARO there you happy?

 

Well I'm much happier! Nothing worse than mispelling the name of your own car. Afterall it's probably badged in numerous places on the car.

 

Don't take it personal. Its my duty. It happens way more than you think.
