I have searched but found no answer.
Gerson "funky green" panels are best, but hard to find. This I know.
Comparing other vendors, like CIP and Wolfsburg West, what is the consensus on quality?
I need:
Left outer rocker panel
Right outer rocker panel
Left and Right inner rockers
Right rear outrigger
Cargo floor
Front floor
Also may get:
Lower windshield opening
Lower cargo door section inner/outer |

| Every time I call Gerson he picks up the phone himself and I'll make my order. His numbers should be on his site. I've done 2 big orders from him and I'll have them within 3 weeks. |

It's worth your time to track down the funky green, the time you'll spend making some of that other stuff almost fit yet still be not quite right is far more than a few phone calls and Emails.

Autocraft panels are just as easy to get and the fit is at least as good and in some cases better for similar price. Either way both gersons and autocraft are quite a step above both of the rest.
This question has been asked many times, a search will do you well. |

Good info, thank you. I didn't know I had other options.
Sorry, I'm a nearly total T1 noob who's graduating from 12 years of Vanagon Westfalia ownership.  |

CIP outer rocker profile does not match original - not enough curve in them. I would not use them again.
