they are having a bit of a trouble w/ the aftermarket product(s) ( slowly in getting there, since it started over 10 years ago ) ...

as in the fitting of the panels, having factory style lines, quality of the metal, along w/ the tooling of it

as mentioned by one of the member(s); if your not worried about the looks or wanting to spend much in it, go with the aftermarket

but, if you want it to look good and w/ quality in appearance, I would search for NOS

all the people I know in my area always recommend used or NOS item(s) compared to the aftermarket ones ( they rather fix an old fender than take x amount of hours to try to line it up properly )

again IMO
