Mike,
All depends. They are all made in Tiawan. No matter who sells them. AMD
Good Mark and others.
I would not remove the trunk and tail panel section of the original panel if you can avoid it.
The window channel will need some massaging and cut and splice.
Try to only use the door jamb and wheel well and upper QP area to the window ledge. Best to splice the new QP into the trunk and rear QP on the body line area.
