Then there's the variation in crispness of the lines,as mentioned above.
There are different fenders made by different companies. The company I used may have changed their dies by now (I doubt it). But,the fact is,the reproduction stuff isn't as exact as original as you'd think. Replacing a whole part is one thing,but grafting I don't even want to think about what a nightmare that could be
