Feedback on these body repair panels
Just wanted some feedback on these body repair panels I came across here http://alfaparts.net/
Has anyone ever used these?
Are they good quality and do the body lines match up the way they should?
I was looking at the dog leg for each side on my 1994 4 runner. They have quite a few panels. Wish I found the rocker panels when I had my 1994 ext cab.

i got some cheap ones online at some website. They were pretty cheap, and i cant say how well they matched body lines as i had to re-weld on the chassis and frame so i was a little off BUT, the quality considering they were $40 was EXCELLENT. They came primered and baked so i was really quite impressed

aftermarket parts are usually a crap shoot at best and only fit as well as your ability to modify and install them. the are made from 20 gauge steel but i didn't see if they were e-coated. if they are bare steel you will have to treat them before you paint. the problem with patching panels is that if you weld them in there is no good way to treat the backside of your welds. where you cut and welded in the patch is always going to be a spot that you will have to keep an eye on. there is a reason that body shops don't guarantee rust repairs. but you can always glue in replacement panels.
