most likely due to aftermarket fender.... thats just it.
OEM Honda parts cost so much because they are the perfect fit!

yea, probably because it is an aftermarket fender. oem would get you the perfect fit but they are a little pricey. either that or its not bolted on tight enough. did you install it yourself?

yeah, we'll probably need pictures at least. Sounds like either the fender isn't really great quality or it's spaced wrong, but if it's spacing was off, the door would most likely hit it when you opened it.
