I had my buddy did the driver's side rear quarter panel replacement
for me. He also did the front fender and driver side door for me. The
latter two are easy. If he knows what he is doing, that should not be
too much problem.
The used part would need more attention when cutting out your
current fender on the car, make sure you have enough room to weld
the used part in. If he knows what he is doing, it will take a little
more skill and time. After you weld it in, if you job is decent, and
sand it and put primer on it, after a paint job, you can't really tell
much difference. And, mine feels solid too.
When I was shopping for fixing mine, half of the bodyshops I talked to
prefer to use new, but half of them didn't care.
