Re: ok another question here

grant is gonna be the best quality by far, skins are usually welded in place of the tailgate to shave the rear end completely shut. You can reskin the tailgate and still have a functioning tailgate without the exterior handle (using a re-locator kit). Here are some pics of my old mazda my buddy did the skin on.
