What is the concensus on the quality of reproduction amrests? I've got a pair that is the wrong color, but I thought I might be better of with a new pair rather than spend the time painting those.

I used repo armrests on my build and was satisfied with the fit and appearance. I also used repo door panels that were hard to fit and junk compared to the originals, but they ended up looking ok. The sun had faded my original armrests into two different shades of parchment. The truck must have been parked consistently in a manner that allowed one armrest to get more sun. Couple pictures of repo parchment armrests...
