Taiwan fenders...

Anybody purchased some? Fit? Finish? I'm also considering the purchase of the bumper cover. Certif(sh)it has the fenders for $54 and the cover for $165. I can get salvage yard fenders for $50-$60, but the possiblity of rust/damage may offset the ease of fitment.

Re: Taiwan fenders...

I bought an IROC that had a "Made in taiwan" bumper on it and the fit was pretty bad. Expecially where it lined up with the fenders, there was a large gap of missing plastic that was painfully obvious it wasnt right.. It also had aftermarket fenders that I also threw away.

Find OEM pieces, there will be less headaches.

Re: Taiwan fenders...

I can not comment about camaro parts but everything I bought from certifit in the past did not fit properly. Bumpers, trim, headlight bezels and a tailgate. I feel like it is more likely not going to fit properly but just relating my experience with them.
