Is there any difference between the Quality of different repop panel suppliers???

e.g.
Classic Industries
LMC
Goodmark
Brothers
Year One
etc....

or do they all buy it from the same overseas manufacturer????

Yes there is a difference, 5 manufacturers of bumpers, 5 at least make fenders, 3 tailgate manufacturers minimum, 7 dash bezel manufacturers and the list goes on, Goodmark offers 2 levels of quality themselves good & Best Trust me you want to stick with there best if you use them. So yes there is a difference in quality. LMC you never know who they'll buy from if they run out of there normally stocked part they seem to have no qualms with using a different supplier even if the parts inferior.
We and to my knowledge most of the other smaller board vendors that post here use what we sell and strive to carry only the highest quality. I'd rather tell you we are backordered on a item than order from the 2nd best supplier / manufacturer of a part.
