I bought a rear quarter one before they were advertising on ebay (so no picture). They don't wrap around where the rear of the panel meets the rear beaver so thats a bit of a pain as you'll need to shape it yourself.

The rest of the shaping looked decent, but then again I never fitted it and on sold it.

If you have some skills they are worth using (rear quarter ones), otherwise the nissco ones are still the better product.

Can't comment on the front guard sections.

Nissco sections are a top fit.

Yeah they are not cheap but, for the fit and no stuffing around it's worth every cent trust me. When doing my resto I had a cheap quater that came with the car when I bought it. It was a real bitch to fit.It took quite a while to get it to shape and tacked in. When I had tacked it it still didn't look right. I ended up cuting it out and bought 2 new Nissco items. The quarters came up perfect in less than half the time I spent on the other crap.

I ended up going with Nissco for panels. Im glad i did, as the rear quarters are perfect. Nice quality and fit. Im just waiting on sills now. Definitely worth the extra bucks :thumbsup:

That's the same question I was going to ask (aussie restos vs. Nissco). Thanks to everyone for the replies. I hope Nissco ships to the USA!
