Who is reproducing the correct door panels, quarter inner panels for a convertible and the bucket seat backs?
I need a set in white and would appreciate anyone's feedback as to a good source for these pieces.
Any comments concerning quality issues would also be welcomed.
Thanks In Advance.

You're both wrong. Calling them garbage is an insult to garbage.

I'd save up and get them redone by Just Dashes. It's far from cheap and now where near perfect, but it's still the best thing available for now.

OK, You win. I was trying to be nice . As far as the Just Dashes route goes, the rears in my vert were pretty bad and I sent them to JD to be redone. As stated it wasn't cheap ($150? each I think) but they came out very nice and the grain pattern while not exact is very close. My front panels are unrestored originals and with the top down at shows it's hard to see the difference even with the front and rear panels side by side. Also JD will fill in and repair any holes including large speaker holes!

If you want to install a complete set of everything then go with Dante's, he supplies the best available.
I wouldn't suggest trying to match the new panels along side originals.
Also, don't expect perfection.

Both of the repos fit like socks on a rooster. Every time this subject comes up, we end up asking B,E, and A to please reproduce them. We'll just keep hoping one day he does. They will be pricey but they will be correct if he does them. I am thinking about buying a AAR grill just to help his bottom line and maybe he will give in. I don't really need one, but every little bit helps.
