Default CAPA Certified Replacement Parts?

I am looking online for a replacement fender and came across a few online that are a lot cheaper than the OEM ones from Sewell. They claim to be CAPA certified and say they are equivalent to OEM. Anyone had any experience with these and are they any good? I would love to get one for this price but dont want it to be a piece of crap that doesnt fit right or is as thin as aluminum foil.

edit: I dont know why the url wont paste correctly, but they look to be the same parts that are all over ebay

It has been my personal experience that no matter how good an "aftermarket" replacement part is it will never fit like a factory part.

Aftermarket bodyparts are known to have fitment issues.
