Might be less work to fit a repo than to repair yours. Only one way to find out.

Originals have a date code stamped in fender to hood jamb. Re-pops don't, that is one give-away. We have used many pairs of the re-pops at our shop, and have seen no improvement in the tooling over the years. Some customers insist they want 'new' = chinese junk fenders. I would recommend profesional instalation of the re-pops. Personally I prefer to patch a small softball size hole anyday! Scott

68pongto, Since you are familiar with the re-pops what is the biggest problem with them. I've heard that the contour above the wheel "eyebrow" is not correct and you can tell by reflected items in it when its along side a car with original fenders. Also that they use thinner metal than original.
Curious on what you may have run into? |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
