Fender Question
Fender recently cracked a little and is bulging out.
Questions being
OEM is around $400 unpainted, why?
is there really a major difference of an after market $120 fender unpainted and an oem one? fitment wise? Paint work wise?
Also, can anyone guide me ; from experience to a quality after market fender for our c300's

Unless its an OEM being sold in the aftermarket at a more reasonable rates, i would stick with the stearlership OEM ... that being said if you are looking at replacing one fender ... might as well be the time to go with a kit and replace both ...
The other thing is quality and weight difference between OEM and after market ... OEM will match weight for weight and perfect fit .... Aftermarket could be fiberglass or less gauge thickness and lighter ... and may not stand up to another impact as the OEM did for you ...
i'm sure others will plenty to say as well ....
good luck though
