Default Quarter Panels / Skins - New Replacements

I noticed that LRS and CjPonyParts now sell replacement Quarter Panel Skins. LRS sells them for $500 each - $1,000 for both. I was on ebay and noticed that somebody was selling these same panels, to which are made by Golden Star in China. I called up LRS, knowing that they usually match prices, and so I shared with them by find. They said they'd sell me a PAIR of panels for $625, which includes the freight. I'd save $375.

I'm not getting my car painted for a long while. So, if I buy these panels, they will end up sitting from 1 to 3 years, until I get the car painted.

I'm worried that I'd be passing up really nice deal at $625,

What do you think?

Yeah.. Thanks MJR. It's hard to resist sometimes. I just know - to do the resto properly, I need to replace the quarter panels - they are trashed in every way.

I bought a used quarter panel off ebay that was cut off a wrecked car. It had everything I needed to repair my car. The guy cut it extra large and had an entire wheel well and some of the rocker and trunk floor with it. It was a good straight panel and had just one small rust hole when I sandblasted it. Easy fix if youre tackling a quarter skin.
