Agreed. That's why I noted that nearby ridges or feature lines play a role. The typical Chinesium partial quarter panels are thinner than stock sheet metal and are designed to be welded in place in the middle of the quarter. They usually don't go all the way to the fender peak and certainly don't wrap over or incorporate the trunk gutter.
