Im going to be buying some fenders from year one. They have either new gm fenders or reproductions. The reproductions are cheaper. Which would you prefer to buy?

I will always buy Goodmark, unless the owner demands OEM. I sincerely feel OEM is GROSSLY over priced!

If you can get GM fenders than i would buy those. Will be better quality, better fit and will have the correct gauge metal. To much of the goodmark stuff is made overseas thinner metal and you have to work with the fender.

If Year One has GM more than likely the parts are still available other places and might be cheaper. Since you are on the west coast you might look for a closer vendor too to save you some shipping. Fenders normally ship truck freight. Might try The guys at www.true-connections.com (http://www.true-connections.com) in Riverside. They are much closer smile.gif Owner's name is Dick Brandt and is a cool guy.
