i'm not looking forward to dealing with that. Its nice having access to replacement body panels but some of the fitment leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of messing with them to get them to fit decent.

Problem is the overseas manufacturers use old original panels for patterns when making the dies and often don't compensate for springback especially in the corner radius, so even tho the pattern piece fits the die, the new stamping comes out softer and slightly larger.
