Thankfully a Force is just a Geo Metro.

You should be able to find replacement parts at junkyards if you just want a new fender or light for example.

The sheet metal on Metros is thin and easy to work with. Here's a video of me doing some body work on mine.



All I did was remove the interior plastic panel, and then push out on the metal with my hand!
