Thanks for the nice words. Cojnit, we used both lower quarter patch panels and also the driver's side taillight section patch panel. The taillight section is what was damaged when the brake shop guy backed into it--there was some rust there, so we figured we might as well use the patch panel. All were a good fit, the only problem was that the taillight patch panel doesn't include the backing pieces that hold the lamp assemblies in place. Not realizing this, the body shop junked my old ones and I had to search for replacements (I was able to find some used ones from a guy on the board). Sub4vr, the mirrors look nice, but aren't very functional. The driver's side is decent, but I can't see much of anything out the passenger side and have to depend on a stick-on blind spot mirror! I used to have the below eyeline tripod style mirrors, but never thought they looked very good. I wasn't able to come up with a different style that would look good, work well, and mount properly on the door.
