difrence between oem and aftermarket fender

i have seen it asked what is the diffrence between both as in topic. here is to pics to show the diffrence that i have seen. i was cheap on one side and not the other. no reason really. the rib rolled into the oem fender does not excist in after market. oem fit much better aligned better. the after marklet took quite a bit of bending the curve to get all the angle to align. so if you can get oem get it if your cheap like i was it does still work.

last pic is after market hood, fit good same little details diffrences as oem the edges are very sharp not sanding before shipping got many cuts installing now i have to file all the edges on the indide of the hood to make it safer to handle in the future.

hope this helps everyone.

lastly here is hood, 79 dollars off ebay had a couple small dents and a little ridge in center of hood no big deal to fix up. new costs 185 after market same company. so for about 3 hours of hamering and filling it is going to be perfect for me.
