    find a donor car in the junkyard.. or ask on here if anyone has a part car and can cut off them off and ship them to you


    cut off more than you need... and trim it to fit your car
    weld it on... body filler and primer and paint to match

    Looks like you have a donor piece already, take it to a shop and get them to put it on for you.

    since you are up in canada.. i have no idea how much it would cost. all ic an say is take it to a shop and ask them to give you an estimate on the price. than see if you are willing to spend what it will take

    Unless you really know what you are doing, I would also recommend having a shop weld them on for you. You could shop around and find out how much various shops would charge to do the job.
