Default Remanufactured Body Parts?

Bypassing the gory details... I am in need of a driver side fender, hood, front grill panel, maybe a bumper, and all the little pieces between the driver's side headlight and everything behind the drivers side headlight. The radiator mount is apparently specific to the ti, but the rest of the parts are interchangeable with the e36 sedan. My questions:

1. I found a website - www.iautobodyparts.com - that sells remanufactured parts. Does anyone have experience with them? What are the implications of "remanufactured"? These parts are about 1/2 of what the dealer (and body shop) charges.

2. A few of the body parts are available from aftermarket suppliers - Has anyone used non-OEM body panels, and the like?

Thanks in advance.
