Rockauto.com, Certifit.com, junk yard, stealership, you will probably have to get it painted though.

I would spray some paint over those scratches before you put the flare on. Maby some kinda of white primer, just make sure you dont spray past where the flare covers(obviously).

Ya they just use 1 picture to describe each year.

If you do go with them they will ask for your VIN # so they will be able
to make sure your getting the right part

Well...I went to a junkyard monday, got lucky and they had an 03 ranger there which had the fender flare i needed ($21.00) really cheap compared to online, only thing is that its blue =\ and needs to be painted white. was wondering what prep. i had to do before i painted it? its not the textured kind of flare its the "smooth" kind, I saw on another thread about, using 3m red scotchbrite pad to scuff it up? or fine grit sandpaper? and also what kinda paint?

IF it's in near perfect condition, I'd scuff it up with a scotchbrite pad, blow it off with the air hose, then use a tach clothe on it, spray on some duplicolor adhesion promotor, then your primer, scotchbrite pad again, tach clothe again, then on goes the color, then follow that up with the clear.
