aftermarket body parts? any good?

I had a deal with someone, and I was going to buy the whole front end off of a 2001 camaro, but they havent replied to my emails and I need these parts asap... so my only option may be to get after market parts... does anyone have any experience with aftermarket body parts, such as fenders or front end

I had to replace my front end and found one for $150 at a warehouse close to where I live you can also order online just goto yahoo and do a search for what you need there should be acouple of places that sell a front end for 120 dollors or so.The
only problem I found with It is that the top isnt flush with the hood only a minor gap. But its alot better than paying 400 dollors for one from the dealership.good luck its a bitch to change the front end also for the first time but its simple after the first time.

Ive heard nothing but bad things about going aftermarket, pricing, its not much more than the aftermarket to just get it done right, from the dealer. Call either Jason or Dal.

From Dal Im buying the front bumper cover fascia and drivers side fender for $434.92. Ill be picking it up since its not that far of a drive to his dealership.

well hook me up with some contact infomation... Im afraid that even if I got a good price, shipping rates would kill me though.

Ive already made arrangements with that guy to buy the parts that I need... he is going to pull the auction off of ebay as soon as he finds out the shipping price...

I was interested in those parts, but I just didn't have the money this month (probably not next either) I'm even close enough to pick them up, too. Right deal, wrong time. Glad you're getting them, though...looking forward to seeing your ride.
