Spent some time searching the web, hands down www.fixmyrust.com is the cheapest I could find. Picked up 2 for $31.59 a peace and S&H was $18 (total amount is $81.55) The awesome people from Ebay want something like $33 per side and S&H is $30+ per side.

is this project feasible for someone with no autobody experience, but was a welder at Columbus steel? my buddy went to school for welding but wasn't sure if there's a huge difference between commercial welding and auto body welding?

If your buddy can weld then go for it. Just take your time cutting & getting the new panels to fit and line up perfectly. Honda sheet metal is thin so watch he doesn't burn through or warp it. Sounds like he knows what he's doing. Be sure to prime & paint before winter. Primer soaks up water, paint will seal the surface - even if it's cheap aerosol it is better than nothing.
