Need a new front bumper Should i spend the extra on OEM or get an aftermarket? (stock style)
Aftermarket is alot cheaper but will i have issues with the fit?

I have aftermarket pieces. Front bumper and passenger fender. The fit is not perfect, but not bad. It can be lined up well, but I would suggest to get OEM anyway to save yourself some headaches.

when i had my front and rear bumpers replaced, the insurance co. wanted to use aftermarket, but the body shop recommended against it since they said they had fitment issues with aftermarket stuff, so i called the insurance co. and told them to use oem.
