Sheetmetal comparisons?
I've searched, and really couldn't find the info I'm looking for...
I need a radiator support, stone deflector, and driver side quarterpanel patch for my 91 Bronco.
Called around, and LMC and Jeff's are the cheapest shipped to my door, and about the same price.
Are there any drastic differences in quality between the suppliers? Is it worth it to pay more from NPD, Autocrafters or someone else?
Are there and places to avoid?
I don't want cheap stuff that's not going to fit well, or is going to rust immediately...
Maybe this can turn into a sticky.
Thanks!

Here's my $.02, I only trust parts that are made in the USA, Tabco and Dennis Carpenter have the best in my opinion. The best thing to do is to call the manufacturer and ask them about the fit, and where it's made. You'll find alot of people are only the middle man. I don't know about NPD but i have heard nothing but good about them. The increase in the price is worth it to me, because i don't want to bang on the panels and make them fit.
Opinions are very different on this topic so good luck.
