I haven't dealt wit Classic Ind. but judging by the description, price and colors available I'd say those are the new METRO panels. I have Metro's Cuda door panels at home and they look great, just waiting on the convertible rears before I put them on. Wherever you get them from, you can't go wrong with the METRO panels.

Dave at Rosville has some nice panels, I have the fronts, they look perfect.....I orderd some from Year One and they were crap!!!!. ( I have sent back more parts to year one because of non fit or poor quality)  I am waiting for the rears from Dave and will let everyone know how they fit..... I have looked at 3 diff. manufactures panels and never seen this quality..I think they are Metro?

Metro is for sure the best available.  Don't even bother trying the others (Palco, etc), but you need to order fast, because the initial run I believe is close to being sold out.

I too have found that many of Year One's products are cheaply made and overpriced. I tend to avoid them when ordering parts unless I absolutely have to buy from them. It's as if they sell the same low quality metal as those discount eBay sellers, but charge as if they were higher quality AMD pieces.

It's sad, but the Year One name is now tarnished in my opinion. When I hear someone mention them, I automatically think cheap/poor quality parts at high prices that mislead customers into thinking they are getting a better product.

I used to be a fan of them, now I just buy minor things from them like emblems and decals

Don't bother.

The ONLY ones to get are the Metro panels.  Either get them from metro themselves, or Dave at Roseville.
