Does the aftermarket material/fit compare well to OEM?

 

Not in my experience.

 

Material seems reasonable, stamping has problems. On a recent project, one side required 3 hours of 're-work' by a pretty-talented metal guy to achieve a good fit (issues at turn signal housing and at long seam on the nose), the other side about 1.5 hours. -KB

Thanks, KB. That's my concern. Money saved in materials ends up costing in labor and fiddling. I bought a right front fender NOS for $499 two months ago. Trying like hell to find a left, even used, but without rust would be great.

You could call up Guten Parts in NJ - they had a few fenders kicking around there.

 

We've used the Wally fenders as well, the fitment is fine - the only complaint is the blinker bucket isn't as deep as the OEM bumpers - and sometimes the OEM stamping is poor also.
