I have a 74 beetle, I'm replacing the rear apron, the Brazilan parts suck. Who makes and or sells quality body parts that fit right? Thanks for the help.

That is a pretty complicated question. Many different parts may have multiple vendors, some better, some worse.

By best experience, I find that oeveedub.com usually has quality parts. Take a look.

Also, don't slander the Mexican or Brazilian parts just because they are from that country. There are OEM VW parts from there, and there are aftermarket. The quality of the OEM VW parts from these countries is good. But even German aftermarket (non-OEM) is pretty dodgy these days.

Antonio Trejo in Mexico City can provide you with OEM VW parts. You'll need an apron with two tailpipe holes as opposed to the one late mexican beetles had. partsvw@hotmail.com

You can purchase a good, used apron from these folks and have it shipped for not much more than the piece of doody aftermarket aprons that do nto fit properly.
