Actually, there's at least two different places.
The definition of shape between two cab corners I got were surely from different stamps.

I will be exchanging the passanger's side for a Tri-Plus brand.

The off brand is just way too cheaply made. The metal is terribly obviously thinner.
The shape of the body lines are very under shaped.

The TriPlus is far superior.
