It could be either. Check how the fenders line up to the rest of the car ( doors and hood for example ). How sturdy did the aftermarket radiator support look? I'm in need of one and I'm wondering what is a better bang for the buck. The oem one isn't THAT expensive ( I can get it for $420 here in Puerto Rico ) and the ebay one shipping to here is a bit over $300.

the radiator support looked fine structurally. it was almost exactly like the OEM. what do you mean by measurements PPGfreak? both headlights dont fit right and radiator support holes dont match up with the holes in the bumper. I'm thinking i got the shaft from the body shop because they didnt do a good job installing the radiator support which is causing the front end to be mis-aligned. do you guys think i can take everything off and put it back together myself?

upon further inspection, i see that the wheel liner doesnt match up as well. the underbody cover doesnt really fit either.

If there a good shop then they will have a way to measuring. You get the exact specs from Infiniti on how the car was set up at the factory. They hook it up to a measuring unit and it will tell them if any thing is up, down, left, right, back or forth. I have the specs my self but you still need a way to measure.

I work at the dealer so we put the car back together the same way it was taken apart, same specs as it came from the factor new. Not all shops can do that
