The front end of my 2000 F-150 4WD Ext Cab got damaged in an accident. The Ford repair shop gave me a quote with OEM parts and my insurance company rewrote it with aftermarket parts. According to the Ford repair shop, aftermarket parts are grossly inferior to OEM parts. According to the insurance company, OEM parts are grossly overpriced and aftermarket parts are of equal quality. Both are obviously highly biased. Is there a quality difference between OEM and aftermarket parts??? Is it worth the extra cost for me to pay for OEM parts or doesn't it matter??

Thanks for your help.
