Default lol.. you do make a valid argument...

though you are an exception to the topic (i'd let you drive my car before i'd let my gf - hell.. im guessing you could out-drive me anyday)

Lots of guys like to show off... which, im guessing leads to worse accidents and on a forum flush with guys, with a collectivly inflated sense of self, I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the reported damage was cast off on the respective femenine counterpart out of shame.

But are you sure men get in more accidents? I heard it was the other way around.

Default Correct. Men do have slightly fewer accidents than women, but usually much larger ones.

"Statistics show that while the number of accidents between the two sexes can be quite similar there is one important factor that is different in their claims, and this is accident severity. Generally speaking, on average, men have crashes or accidents which cause more damage than women and thus claims against their respective car insurance cover are higher."

Default Certifit makes knockoff Audi body panels... in China, etc... and you can tell...

Because they don't quite fit right... Skip.

Default Come on, don't try telling me they make Certifit body panels in the same factory as Audi parts...

And your "fit pretty good" is not OEM... Maaco can do "pretty good" paint work... doesn't mean you should take the Audi there.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/threads/121690.phtml#521878">Sortafit parts...</a></li></ul>

Default not saying that, but they have enough experience to make them good, my "certifit" fender is perfect

it may rust 5 years down the road if something happened, but it's so cheap it doesn't matter.

also i don't like most OEM stuff Audi puts out. Audi oem means it will break in the near future. isn't it crazy to do repeat same thing and expect different results? like installing crappy OEM parts.

Default Fenders don't break, you break them... and rust after 5 years? Yeah, I'll pass on that crap.

Also, for every post saying "I used Certifit and I'm happy" I'll show you 5-10 where the outcome was the opposite. SKIP.
