Who knows where anything is actually made anymore?
Back in the days when I had my auto body shop, I had occasion to replace the right fender on an Olds Ciera. It wasn't an insurance job, and the customer was an old friend who wanted it done as cheap as possible, so I used an aftermarket fender, made in Taiwan. The fender had a manufacturing flaw that wasn't visible after it was installed.

I was doing a lot of Chevy pickups back then, and I routinely used aftermarket fenders made in Taiwan. I once got a pair of the same fenders tagged, "Made in Italy".
