Title: 1968 Charger front lower valance panel
Post by: gtx6970 on June 16, 2017, 03:30:30 PM
Anyone used the Goodmark front lower valance versus same part from AMD?

The AMD part is over double the costs of Goodmark. Not counting shipping costs.

Simply looking for some feedback before I pull the trigger on one or the other.

I agree with this,but it's gotten to be a pretty tall order.

I have, and every one I find is beat to chit...... and more money than a new AMD panel.

I'd like to know what the differences are between the Goodmark and AMD , anyone used both and give me a part by part description / variances between the 2 . This car is so dark if the thing isnt a dead nuts perfect fit chances are he'll be happy with it if the gaps are a 1/16" wider on one versus the other
I assume both have all mounting provisions for the panel and the marker lights with no issues
