Veng used to be the best fitting of the aftermarket panels but I think they no longer exist. I would always go for original as the fit and finish is far superior.

Also aftermarket panels, especially those from GSF are very bad quality, they don't fit and the quality of the metal is terrible.

If you look close enough I think you can make out the HEINZ stamp.
