Pros: Cheaper than full quarters, good thickness of metal
Cons: Crease line not correct, lower section doesn't go back far enough

These panels looked impressive at first but once the install begins, you quickly find the lower area behind rear wheels does not go all the way to the trunk drop off! I had to add a piece as shown in the 2nd pic. This is ridiculous as that lower area would be the first place to rot away on a car and the most needed! The actual fit onto the car was good but the crease line at the top is not correct so I had to fix that. I did like the feel/thickness of the metal. They "feel" thicker than the black Taiwan panels out there. Do be careful handling these as they made no attempt to remove the very sharp edges. I would use these again ONLY as a last resort and only on a car I was fixing to sell. The money I saved in the purchase quickly was lost in time/work/aggravation. Only full quarters for me from now on.
