Very cheap parts for are 7's?
Well i found a site that is dirt cheap. All they have really are bumpers and fenders, but they want around $60 for new fenders???? i never tried them but its worth a shot. Compared to victoria british where they want like $250 for a fender

From what i know, there are a lot of replacement parts coming from China, which they are sold for less than 1/2 theprice of an OEM part. The only drawback is, sometimes, they don't fit too perfectly (off by millimeters). I bought many parts for GMs as cheap replacement for export customers, but never really received any claims so far. There is a local parts area near where i work/live (South Bay, southern California) that sells similar parts for similar prices. They're legit, but if you're looking for perfection, go with OEM. I'm broke, so I go for the replacement type. Also, be careful for the shipping charges and the shippers damaging these items. They are usually poorly packed, not spending too much money on the packaging because it ill cost more than the parts itself. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

I agree! In my experience, if you don't use OEM body panels, there is a great possibility that there will be fitment issues. The only time I would use something other than OEM, is when I absolutely can't find OEM. There may be reasonable alternative sources out there, but I haven't found one yet.

How much thinner can you get than OEM? I mean, pretty soon its not sheet metal - its aluminum foil.
