Pretty sure they are all stamped in the same factory in China. There isn't enough of a market to justify having two different factories make stamping dies and tool up for this.

Just remember that they are all thinner than the original. Don't try to push your car unless you want two perminant dents on the back of the your trunk lid where you would normally place your hand. Saw a dented Cutlass at a major car auction once.
