why dont you think they match? because of the cut out on the front drivers fender? i dont think you will notice that when the grill is on, no big deal, (if thats what you mean) i dont know alot about dusters but it could be normal, do they fit? look good complete? if yes keep them on,

Yes, I see the issue right away. They are different. You see, Mopar used both a right and a left on each car. They found out after extensive research that if they used either two lefts or two rights the car looked very bad so they used two different fenders. One right and one left.
Sorry for being a smart ***. They look fine to me. I honestly does appear that the passenger side is original and the driver side has been replaced. The original fender still has the factory "black out" paint on it.

The problem is is that the DS fender doesn't bolt up right on the radiator core support. The top bolt does, but the bottom bolt doesn't - it is about 2 1/2 inches off. Thanks for the help!
