No doubt, your panel is far superior quality and at a fair price. If I were putting stock panels back in my truck I would want yours. As a Sr. Purchasing Agent for a major pharmaceutical company I have tons of experience with top quality suppliers and some lower quality suppliers as well. At work, I buy based on value, which incorporates many decision components with price being just one criterion. If we need the best for a particular application we buy it. If we don't then we will knowingly buy a lower quality. The key word here is "knowingly". What irritates me most about buying aftermarket parts for cars and trucks is that many times you think you are buying a top quality part only to receive an item of much lower quality. There is a market for both the lower quality LMC part and the superior quality part you sell. Not all folks buying parts for their trucks need or want the best/most expensive parts. What virtually everyone does want to know is what he or she is getting for their money before hand so there are no surprises upon receipt of the part.
