id go with stock or do the jdm conversion and same with the crx. my opinion anyways. some aftermarket may take some massaging* to fit right i think

the bodyshop that did my repairs on my white dx CRX, they ordered OEM (style) factory fenders.. they fit great. they normally order from really good companies, so maybe i just got lucky and they use a good company. fender cost me cost like $100 so it better have fit right!!

I think aftermarket fenders are alright, as long as they come from a place that guarantees them. I know that fenders and more in Nashville Tn will guarantee theirs. Plus there are a lot of places that sell fenders that came off a wreck, and was refinished.

On a totally different note, Fiberglass fenders are also aftermarket, and are molded to fit, but seldom do. You can save weight I am told, but you often have to do a lot of sanding and cutting to make them fit.

Just my 2 cents.
Thanks, Scott

aftermarket fenders are decent...but you may have corner light fitment issues...just force em in gently...honda is 99.9% of the time a perfect fit. i'd just go with aftermarket fenders...

Remember this most of our cars runnin around could very well have aftermarket fenders since there old now and OEM cost too much for insurance companys. Aftermarket is good. It just mat take a shim here or there to fit it right. Id rather have smooth metal than a used fender with dents that have to be filled or paint that has to be removed

I just got my toy back from the body shop and I have an aftermarket fender on it and aftermarket corner light as well. Its fits pretty close but not oem. I will post a picture of it for you when I get some time. And I just got it back from body shop Friday so its pretty recent
