Does anyone have experience with the quality of products that are out there so I know which I should avoid? I am looking for an OEM (or nearest to OEM) apperance in black with manual windows. If you have a preferred supplier I would appreciate that lead! Thanks in advance.

I am very impressed with the Barracuda rear panels that I recently purchased off of eBay for 55% off. My challenge now is finding a pair of blue front door panels for less than $600pr. Just not in the budget @ that price. I can also attest to the poor quality of Palco panels. Fit and finish leave a lot to be desired, but I've been running them for almost 10 years due to them being the only game in town at that time.

When I purchased my seat backs from Dente a couple summers ago, all that was available was Palco. I will say that they are not as bad as I thought they'd be. I’m listening.

Really kicking myself for not jumping on the front door panels when KlassicPart had them on Ebay for 50% off. They were on there for months...just kinda figured they would always be there. The next thing I know all 4pr were sold.
