Well, on anybody buy new car parts. Went to jeep guys for left hand driver side fender flair, Guy said $95 plus tax for 93 cherokee fender flair. This is a piece of plastic. Bought from internet parts place for $43.
Did a 84 3/4 ton burb,for a friend. about five years ago. It was in no name storm flood, both sides rocker panels and lower door panels jc whitney, forgot what it cost but remember having to fit all parts to vehicle. This vehicle was in 32 inches of salt water. used rustolem red gloss to match poly paint job.
I make most body parts for my 40 burb so far 3 4' x 8' 20 gauge steel formed and welded in. wish they made stuff for the old girl but that's the way it goes.
Point is I wouldn't expect a body part to fit exact but I would expect it to fit close to oem. I think that is way they use plastic on modern trucks and cars it bends and fits eazy to what ever it is attached to. metal body parts don't work that way. But metal part for a body should fit close with some adjustment so you can fit them up.. That's the fun part.
