If you want the job done right: don't be tight!
Genuine all the way!

Cheap ones have rough edges, are thin material, and sometimes too big and need cutting from what I've found. Genuines have rounded edges and are harder to dent.

I put el cheapos on my car and they're crap, but I dont care because I'm going to debumper it later.

The ends have rolled edges on the genuines, just like the originals were. Also seem to be a little less twisted as well, and nicer to fit.

The end cut profiles aren't exactly the same as originals, but are pretty close.
