I haven't seen their fenders but I did order T/A front turn signal lamps from them and they were really nice.

If you are weary and want a used oem production fender a good company is TA Creations

cant get on ebay, but beware aftermarket fenders, they are often made of thinner plastic and will warp easily in the sun. i had a black camaro with one and it did, but i replaced it with factory and it was much better.
just my .02

i agree with all these guys. some things aftermarket will work but when its something big like a hood or fender its really noticeable. id go to a junkyard or look for one in the parts for sale section on here. im sure someone is parting out one...

I have had an aftermarket one. It had sharp corners. Looked close but not the same. A lot cheaper.
