Default original w-strip worth the extra $?

Well 50- resto has either the factory w-strip for my doors or the aftermarket one.The thing is its almost $70.00 for the factory one.So it would be about twice that to do both doors OR the aftermarket one they sell is $30.00 for BOTH doors.Is it worth all the extra $.Its a tremendous diff.

I put the aftermarket one one my car and it seals perfect. I also used the aftermarket sunroof weatherstripping on my brothers car. both are great.

I have heard some of the Weatherstrip from 5.0 Resto is smaller than Stock and thus does not seal well.

Well mine actually caused the door to not shut all the way unless i slammed it, but it softened up and now is perfect. I like it, it seals nice and tight.
