And by "best" I mean not complete junk. Been looking around on the forums for a general consensus on a decent aftermarket panels. I've heard mixed things about LMC, Goodmark. They could be made by the place for all I know. Right now, just looking to get some inner fenders for the K5. If anyone's had decent luck with getting aftermarket ones (or any other body parts), let me know.

I have ordered panels from every major supplier. LMC, Brothers, Motor City K5, Tabco, AMD etc.
LMC and Brothers etc will send whatever they have in stock. Sometimes brands will be mismatched. Usually of similar quality.
For small patch panels i found no difference from all brands.
For larger panels and support pieces Tabco has been the stand out. Much thicker material and build quality.
I have one Tabco inner wheel well and one from LMC. The Tabco one is overall beefier and is more rigid. The LMC random brand one is noticeably less Ridgid but worked fine.
