I have a set of aftermarket ones on my car right now and I am sick of the crappy fit. Is there any other place than GM to get good fenders without paying an arm and a leg?

I'm not sure of where you got them, but the fenders available from Certi-Fit here in Colo. give a pretty decent fit, but it still ain't quite right at the front bumper. The aftermarket ones from Classic Industries are crap too, but their "Original GM" ones fit great. The bottom line is, if you want a factory fit, buy a factory part. It sucks to pay that much for friggin' fenders but that's the way it goes I guess.

Well... I haven't a clue, really... I supose you could look in the auto trader, thing that you've got there. (Don't know the name, but I'm sure it's not the same as here) I find great parts/Parts Cars all the time...
There's always the Junkyard... Or Ebay-The online Junkyard...
I would most likely recommend sticking with GM though, if you've had bad luck... I know the prices are a bit much, but at least you know you're buyin it through them...
By the by... Where'd you get the ones you've got now? I suppose whichever you used, you won't go to them again...
I'm tired...

I actually got them from certifit. its lining up with the nose fine. Its the doors that looks horrendous. I might just go with some junkyard ones. ARe there differences between the 91-92 ones and the 82-90 ones?
