Repro body part quality

My 63 has the typical rust at the bottom of the front fenders so I will be patching or replacing the fender. For those who have bought the repro body parts, hows the quality of them?

Thanks

the first ones I got from LMC were not formed correct around the bottom, 2nd set they sent were Tri Plus and fit well

I asked this question a month or so ago and the consensus was to patch the existing fenders if at all possible, due to poor fit and finish of the aftermarket repro fenders.
