All OEM parts versus overseas reproductions.

Avoid the Polypropylene, it's a hassle to get it to fit right. Go OEM

Definitely better off going with OEM.

OEM, no doubt when buying body panels. You will thank us for the advice. Spend the money or you will hate the hassle when installing/painting, and it will never be perfect like an OEM part would.

I totally agree. My upgrade went smooth. I had Garys customs do the painting..

Page 10 or 11 on my build shows it...

Not to take away from gen5 but I also went with Gary's and wouldn't think of going anywhere outside of OEM.

Dont care where you buy, but buy OEM, I have seen lots of aftermarket body parts, and one thing i know is you need to get a lot of wood screws to make this fit look good.
