    If the name of the MFG begins with a "P", and ends with "alco", enjoy the hard plasticy, not so fitting panels.  :eek4: I went down that Palco road once.  :stomp:

    Actually, my fit wasn't all the bad, but I just didn't like the feel of them. The grain didn't quite match the rear panels either. If you aren't picky, maybe this won't bother you, but for the price, I was not so happy. I expected better. Just my opinion.  :2cents:

    Well I think $331 shipped  is a good deal on them considering the price of other suppliers for the same panel....and I get them right away as opposed to the 8+ week wait....However if the grain is close I wont mind but way off and Im on a hunt for a top notch set of originals...

    Stroker:  pics of the grain on the new ones vs. the old would be VERY helpful to the rest of us!
