The differences I see is that the original has thicker metal, it is heavier and doesn't wobble when I pick it up (obviously separated from the truck). The original has a loose support on the inside of the fender where it bolts to the upper radiator support. The repo has it welded in. You know where the front edge of the hood lines up with the fender? Well, the repo one has the metal overlapping while the original is formed. Now if someone fills over this (like I plan to) you will not be able to see it. I hit the side of the repo with my four finger tips and it vibrates more than the original. So, have a confused you more? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 69 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 69 | definatley thinner metal if its aftermarkey. also if your truck is totally stock,never modified, there might be a hearty dose of undercoat. there was penty of that on my truck. preserved most of the metal
