Like the title states, has anyone had any experience with non manufacture fenders? (I.E. fitments with any part of the non OEM fender)
The fenders I am referring to are NOT the flashy E-bay fenders, but OEM replacement ones.

Yeah. They don't fit very well. But I didn't feel like paying almost $400 for an UNPAINTED oem fender. So I dealt and got an oem replacement fender painted for $280.

Not much. It's kind of sunken in near the door/a-pillar, by a few mm. and it almost touches the hood by the low beam, alos by about 2 mm. I can deal with it

The one I got was sheet metal like the OEM ones are.

I tried them too. Still too expensive for an unpainted fender.


Yeah man, best bet is to wait around for a good used one that's your color or a cheap enough different colored one.
