1979 front fender

I need to replace the passenger side fender. I've seen prices for them in jc whitney for $60-100-are these panels cheap quality? Should I just get OE replacements?

Supposedly they don't fit as well. I would try and find a junkyard one. Ted

I got a pair of these Taiwan knock offs for $52 each for my 85 F-150. I was really impressed by the fit up attention to detail and they were e-coted too. They came very well packaged against getting dinged up. At first I was very skeptical from what people have told me but I would not hesitate to buy them again. Forget the junkyard parts, not worth trouble as 95% are dented and/or rusted.
