aftermarket stampings can have their issues, but how do the lower mounts look behind the wheels? on almost every 3rd gen i've had, these points were accidentally used to jack the car up with and always tweaked horribly. unless they're pointing straight down, you'll have a bit of adjusting to do to get things right.

Re: Repop fenders wont fit HELP!
the point of my input is that aftermarket stamped peices are hard to find that actually line up right. better off looking for used fenders that fit. i understand the convenience of new ones, but a lot of the time they just dont fit right

I agree, unless you work at a body shop then used GM parts are the way to go.
