Opinions of Counterpart, OER or some other brand of interior parts?

Anyone out there using Counterparts, OER or some other brand interior parts? Specifically I'm looking for visors, a dash pad, and 67/68 deluxe door panel skins.

If you have bought aftermarket interior parts what brand did you buy and what are your opinions of the quality and fit?

Counterpart Su*ks. Unless it is a small part without much detail this stuff is some of the worst of the worst. OER is not bad and rest are so-so. If it can be found and affored buy NOS if the quality matters. I have a set of the repop counter part door outer handles on the 68 and noticed yesterday they were already starting to pit! Did i mention they are only 4 months old?? their stuff is crap.

I would rather do without than buy counterparts. OER or trim parts are top notch in my opinion.

What vendors do you buy the OER parts from?

Without asking the vendor you never know what brand your going to get. I like Classic Industries because they are an OER dealer. Seems like Year One also has OER and Trim Parts. I wish the vendors would state the brands they are selling.
