I stopped by the brick and mortar store of one of the larger catalogue seller of aftermarket rust repair panels and crash parts last fall to pick up some parts.
In a discussion with the owner, he told me that the OEMs have started copyright protecting their body parts on new vehicles, effectively putting the aftermarket out of business for complete panels
He told me that his suppliers can only legally provide partial rust repair patch panels for any later model vehicle with copyright protection.
Don't know if it's true, but it seems feasible that he is correct.

Lawyers=politicians=politicians=bean counters=lawyers and so on...they rule the world. I suppose its not a bad thing as this forces the chineasium glut of junk out of this market. We do not need any more of that junk here for many reasons.
I usually look at the bone yards in the dry climates for good salvaged parts. Google is your friend here. The parts are OEM, your recycling, putting us to work and keeping the junk where it belongs.
Key Stone used to be the place to buy these items. Not sure how true the statement is from "say ya to da UuuuPee ey"...Upper Peninsula for those not in the know...Havent had to call Keystone in a few years.
