Headliner Trim
I purchased the chrome headliner trim from DC and it came in last night in an LMC box! Man I wish I had known I could have saved $54.64. Maybe this will save one of you from my mistake. Anyone else had this issue?

DC makes a lot of the stuff the vendors sell. but DC also sells generic products everyone else sells. it's kind of a case-by-case thing you really don't know unless you research it, and even then it's not always a sure thing.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe a phone call up front and a question about where their parts come from would of saved you $54.64. I sure hope you did not get the LMC low quality parts with the expectation of DC quality parts. Thanks for the warning to ask them.

DC is normally on the top of the list with their In house repop parts. I never figured that they would get/use and sell LMC made parts. Good to know that is a possibility.

I prefer DC but have purchased many parts from other vendors and really have no complaints about the quality of those either. One more vendor:

I'd return the parts and order from LMC just on principal, especially if i thought i was gonna get a higher quality part. F all these middle-man, drop ship companies that take money for doing nothing but processing an order.
