I have heard that the repos are crap. You would be better off trying to find an original.

The best one out there is the Stinger co. one. It will require hours of work to tap all stud mounts and take hours to make the door functional but when done hard to spot from an original. I had the help of a friend that was a bodyman years back to make mine work. The pieces are like $500 on ebay and then all then all the mounting hardware will set you back about $250 so...

Don't believe so, the Stinger one comes in white, PG I believe is Black and made overseas.
You can see a glimpse of it in first picture and afterward in second picture. Note: door wasn't fully closed when I snapped the picture.

This ad doesn't say Stinger but this is exactly what I bought going by the pictures and write-up. It says glue down but like I said I tapped all the bosses and bolted it per factory.

Ron - what about the mounting studs?
Where can I purchase those & are there two different lengths that need to be used?

I got mine back then from either Frank Badalson or R/T Specialties, remember it was a few years back so don't remember exactly. Yes I believe at least 4 studs need to be longer for the "bell nuts".
