Default How do aftermarket front fenders fit?

I was thinking of getting aftermarket (OEM Spec not weird CF or ricer fenders) front fenders since mine are a little dinged up and I was wondering how they fit, especially around the headlights. Does anyone have pics of how they fit?

My buddy had one on his car. Fitment was pretty good, but it did take some muscling to get the gaps right. Remember though, there are various producers of the parts. Sherman is one of the companies for example.

Were you able to get everything perfect? Do you know how much he paid for it?

Perfect is a stretch even with an OEM fender. The body of the car flexes over time so it will never be exactly like when it left the factory. But you would have never known it was aftermarket unless it was pointed out.

This is where he got it from: http://www.andysautosport.com/scion/...nders/sherman/

Shipping was kind of slow if I remember right. Took more than a week.

Reading some reviews I wouldn't order from Andy's Auto. I do recommend Rock Auto though. I've ordered 2 things from them (fender liner and lower grille) and they were delivered promptly with no issues.
