I don't think anyone would disagree with that statement, especially when there is a huge possibility the embossing may not be the same. Mismatched embossing on the same side of the car just flat look like heck. With only a 1 in 4 chance a single NOS or current reproduction panel would match what is already on a car it could be a pretty expensive gamble.

Without the embossed panels, a Starfire external very quickly resembles a 98 Holiday coup.
