It has been my experience that either (or both!) will require some
fitting. The OEM type are usually lots closer to fitting than the
reproduction ones. If you are not in the mood to "play" w/ fitting the
fender, then opt for the OEM-less fiddling. Keep in mind that the black
primer stuff is terrible for paint adhesion so you will need to go to clean
metal and start over.
