Carparts.com replacement body parts

[maineidyl]

I need a front valance for my 96 LX450. Cartparts.com has a cheap replacement available. Any experience with aftermarket parts for these vehicles.

Made in China. Fitment is hit or miss.

My valance came delivered damaged both times from them so I never could assess the fitment. Yes I could have maybe rebent the tabs to work but that’s not what I was paying for. Make sure they package it well or you document how you receive it. test your parking light fitment as well before you bolt it up.

NLXTACY is correct. expect it not to fit and be happy if it does. My former employer tried Ford van parts we had 100 vans and our own body shop. Went back to OEM after we tried an assortment of aftermarket parts. The added labor to make them fit did not offset the cheap price

why not buy used from @arcteryx = CruiserYard here on MUD ? - look in the Vendor section for his contact info - you might have to ask him specifically about the parts you need, he doesn't list everything on his website
