I am using Goodmark fenders on my car. I am not overly impressed with them. The drivers side seems to be better than the passenger side but there are problems with both.
1) Drivers side. with the fender and hood in place and a good gap at the front and rear (~paint stick width) the gap at the middle of the hood is over 2 paint sticks wide.
2) Passenger side: The fender is 1/4" longer than the hood or driver side. Measuring from the front to the rear along the hood, the driver side is 64-1/4". The passenger side is 64-1/2". I have deterimined the extra length is the end up next to the windhield. This is a royal pain to fix.
3) both sides: From the front going rearward there is a body line that meets up with the hood (about 6 inches from the front) this line is not near as crisp as the one on the factory hood. I am having the skim coat it with body filler and reshape the line.

I just received a reply from a company that sells them on ebay.They said only one company makes them and they are imported by Goodmark and AMD.

I bought a hood,rear valance and deck lid that came from Goodmark and the deck lid had a made in Taiwan sticker.
The hood was decent but the valance and deck lid were junk.

I have a new set of Goodmark fenders , a hood , trunk lid and both valances. My bodyman hasn't had any problems with them . I think the quality is very good.

 I do not think AMD has any Challenger fender avail at this time and probally wont till next year. Goodmark and AMD DO NOT sell the same stampings...AMD make there own tooling and stamps there own products..they DO NOT sell Goodmark stuff ! I have Goodmark fenders on my challenger and they fit well but did require some work that any competent body man can do. I have seen the AMD parts that are avail now for a Challenger like trunk lids and vailances, quarters and they are clearly of better quality and fit but for now they have no fenders for Challengers. If you have no body work exp and just want to bolt on a set of Goodmark fenders and paint them you will be dissapionted with the fit out of the box. Now I have herd that the Goodmark Cuda fender fit great out of the box but the Challenger ones will take some work. I hope the AMD ones fit better.

my thought is that by the time you spend 1 day working on the old fenders you have spent as much in labor as buying a new part assuming the new part doesn`t need 8 hrs + labour to fix
 I think I will be keeping my fenders
