the one you have Is it already painted and such or does it need to be preped. If its just a swap there are a few guys on hear that can do it if they are willing. Its not that hard just takes a while to get it all lined up the way it needs to be. You could probably do it your self.

I'd say bring it to a bodyshop and have them paint the fender, tho if you want them to match the color PERFECT and compensate for fading and whatnot, bring them the car and the fender and have them install it otherwise they will be going by the paint code, tho you could get creative and bring picture of the paint or even that insert in the old fender to make sure they match it perfectly so as to compensate for paint fade in addition to the paint code. btw generally I've only heard of higher end body shops doing that, don't bring it to maco and expect much
