WRONG

Aftermarket parts do not "always fit like crap". Most aftermarket parts anymore are just as good if not better then OEM. CAPA certified parts and MQVP parts are setting the standard for aftermarket quality parts. When you go looking for the parts ask if they are CAPA. I sell aftermarket parts daily and let me tell you dealers are even using aftermarket parts when they repair cars more often because of cost effectivness. If you have any questiongs let me know ill be more then happy to answer them for you.

How many Camaro fenders have you installed personally that where aftermarket?? Bumper covers?? You Installed??? Not how many you have seen after installed or my buddy has one on his car! I do this S**T everyday. Allstate Insurance is the worst for writing aftermarket parts. 95% percent fit like crap!!!! Do they fit like factory?? NO! I have been doing this for 15yrs professionally. 20 yrs into the trade. Only Aftermarket parts I have seen that fit decent are on imports. Go figure!
