I think it all depends on the part itself.

Now obviously I have no issues with customization. Hell I'm putting a cummins in mine. LOL. But I think that some things are better OEM or NOS.

Body panels for example. NOS, OEM, or repaired are better IMO. They fit better, they are made of heavier gauge metal, and will last as long or longer than a repop. Repops being of lighter metal are easier to dent and ding requiring more maintenance, IMO again

But on other things, I see no reason not to use repops. Light lenses for example. In most cases these fit as well and are of the same quality as OEM.

I guess it even boils down to what you want and how much effort, time, and money you want to put into it. If using a repop doesnt affect your sensibilities, then go for it.
