As anyone who has ended up with a damaged fender knows, ST185 fenders are getting hard to find. They are $250 each at the dealership. They are easiest to find on Ebay from JDM sellers, but as I have already cautioned several people from here, all ST185's are not created equally. It seems that most of the JDM ST185 fenders you see on Ebay come off of narrowbody JDM ST185's. It can be hard to spot the difference between these two types in most ebay pics by trying to see the curve of the fenders:
(Top: Narrowbody, bottom: Widebody)
This is especially true if the fender is black or white. You can specifically ask for a front-on view of these and if you know what you are looking for, you can tell:
But even that can be a challenge with some sellers. The most surefire way to tell is on the rock guard area. The GT/JDM Narrowbody ST185 does not use them and have a simple crease to make the bodyline match. The Widebodies (Including the GT-S) have a removable rockguard, which you can usually see:
If the rockguard is missing, it is more obvious:
Here is on auction where the buyer probably didn't get what they expected (obvious lack of rockguards)
