How good are aftermarket front fenders?

How good are aftermarket front fenders vs. OEM? I really need a damn passenger side fender.

Usually if the body shop that you get it painted at can get a OEM GM fender for about half the price that it would cost you to just go to the parts counter at a dealership and buy one.

Maybe so but I am getting the whole car painted by a good friend for cost of materials.

you can get primered aftermarket fenders on E-bay for 60 bucks. Not sure about fit or finish

Not sure about fit or finish, but I have one that I haven't ever used. If you want it, I'll take $30 + shipping and you can have it. Later

Re: How good are aftermarket front fenders?

Be carefull with aftermarket fenders...I got my left front fender replaced on my 00 z28 and it didnt fit right the first time they installed it and it just didnt look good at all. After a few adjustments at the body shop it looked decent, but if you want your car to look all OEM id spend the few extra bucks...just my 2 cents...goodluck
