    This sums it up. OEM fenders are designed for the truck and tend to be all the same good quality. Aftermaket is all over the place though generally the cheaper you go the worse the quality and the more expensive the better. However this is not always true. Sometimes the high end stuff can be absolute garbage that someone got a brand name slapped onto and thus charge a ton of money for what would otherwise be bargin bin trash just to have a fancy name on it.
