I am looking for some of the parts they supply and was wondering if anyone had experience with their stuff. ie fit quality, ect. They seem to have very fair prices. Seat covers especially. I also need exhaust tips and some other stuff. Please comment.

It's nice stuff. I've used lots of their trim etc...I think their seat covers get mixed reviews, but you get what you pay for. A lot of the items are the same as what BE&A supply.

Everything worked well that I bought from there except for the seat covers. Like stated, you get what you pay for but at the time legendary didnt have what I needed so I went with PG. The material was very nice but the fit took a lot of tweeking by my upholsterer. All said and done they do look nice in the car.

It's basically all the same stuff as Mike at BE&A sells and PG's customer service isn't what Mike's is IMO.
I buy from BE&A and I'm in Canada (same as PG) if that tells you anything.

Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the PG stuff comes from China. I ordered a set of headlight bezels for a Challenger from them and the box had Chinese writing all over it, looked wierd. But they looked ok and I put them on the car. I have never bought anything from BE&A so I can't say where it comes from and its quality.

I'm a dealer for PG stuff here in ontario, So call me biased but I look at it this way... If you can't find nice original stuff, then PG is a good option... some of their items are excellent some are garbage, but all can be made to work if you have no other option...
we're having an issue with the charger side marker where the bulb doesn't fit or turn into the socket, and one of ours fell apart on install also, but we're making it work, the bezel is nice and thats the important part! The charger taillights they sent are pretty nice...
It's hit and miss for every supplier out there for aftermarket stuff. They all have items that are good and bad...
As for china and u.s. made... look at the bare steel patch panels from cross canada or sherman auto parts....They are u.s made and are about the crappiest thing I've ever seen offered, my 10 year old daughter could form them better! Don't put your faith in what part of the world it comes from!

Strange that on their ebay ads, they claim that their company reproduces the products themselves.

PG Classics is based in Canada and they do make all their own parts in China. Peter Gee, the owner travels back in forth all the time. I've heard that he's actually staying in China now. This is the same company that makes BE&A's parts as well.

I bought a set of dog dishes for my '68 from them. They are very nice. I appreciate what they do to offer alternatives to NOS and used parts.
After that, I bought some stuff from Mike at BE&A. What a great experience that is! Mike is very into Mopars personnaly and professionally, fun to talk cars with and a true resource of knowlege and experience, especially regarding ebodies. He's one of many on this boad who are true assets to the craft of Mopar restoration. Twenty years ago, one could only dream that someone would produce parts like these for Mopar.

Asked them for a door prize donation for our show. Got told by Peter himself that they wont be coming but that somone from B,E & A was coming. I asked Mike and he said no they weren't. So to me that is a lie. One simple "no it just isn't in our budget this year would of been enough for me and I would have even checked them out for parts but since that as done for me I am done ith any parts buying from them. If they are going to lie then what else are they going to do. Mom's old saying that a lie will come back to bite you in the end. Guess that is true here for me.
just my .02 but buy from Mike he is so much nicer to deal with than P.G.!

yeah I know Mike would have helped out. delt with him enough to know what type of guy he is too. I do have the feeling that they were trying to pass off the buck and I amsure had no idea that I had dealings with Mike. Again I was just rubbed wrong by his doing this so again this is my .02 on this subject. I also agree with the talk about it being hard to understand the lady who answers the phone all though have heard she does know alot just hard to understand her.

As I said before (and dozens of times in the past) PG's stuff is sold through BEA in the states and Mike is much easier/better to deal with.....you really don't need to know anything else!
as far as the parts themselves, some are good (most, I'd say) although it's certainly hard to beat the original stuff. Some is not (i.e. the ramcharger duct which Mike was upfront about with me) Overall I'm happy with the vast majority of my purchases and I've very happy with Mike's customer service.

I've purchased a few things from for my 70 Challenger including taillight bezels, side marker light bezels, and a seat belt set. The items all looked great and fit well but I was disappointed to see my taillight bezels have started to pit this year. My car is stored in a garage.
