Some of the aftermarket fenders are better than others from guys I've talked with. I bought some from Sherman and ASSOciates a few years back, they were OK but not perfect. From my experience I try to find the straightest, cleanest, best damn GM fender , door, hood whatever I can find and reuse it, they seem to fit better. And the holes line up right. Time and money wise it comes out about the same.

I put a set of goodmark fenders on my 77. They worked out really good and i only used 2 shims. The inner fenders on the other hand were a pain in the bum

Guy here in Texas is getting 150 per fender for slavaged GM fenders. But you can always haggle.
