Ebay fender

I need a new front driver side fender because mine is cracked and not worth fixing. I was wondering if I should get an ebay fender because they are cheap. Do these have any fitment problems?

Here are a few I was looking at:

If they're the Taiwan knock-offs that are sold on there often, you'll have fitment issues. I bought one for my 'bird front end conversion, and they fit like crap. I'm sure the Camaro fenders are no better.

Were yours as cheap as these? I don't mind paying the money for a good fender but if I can save money that would be great lol.

Oops! I totally overlooked the link. I think mine were a little more expensive than that, but they were aftermarket just like those in the auction.

The ones you are looking at are ones off of real cars as a salvage, which means they should fit right...however if you read the fine print it says it might come with dents and dings.

The first link is a used one, the second is for a brand new aftermarket.

Stick with OEM new ones from the dealership or good used ones. I bought two aftermarket fenders from ebay for my Camaro and they fit like total crap. I ended up buying two GM used ones.
