if you have good rust free OEM parts by all means use them but here in VA those are far and few between... we don't quite have the weather like you west coast guys!
I am not afraid to use repop sheet metal, but when something is a third of the cost of other repop stuff it makes you question the quality. That was why i posted. You know what they say "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is", well in this is not the case in this instance.
