I live about 15 minutes from Goodmark. Several times I've had guys bring cars in and tell me they've ordered stuff for their cars from various places on the internet, some based as far away as California, wait several days or weeks and then have the part arrive in a Goodmark box. They provide the parts sold by MANY vendors. In my opinion, their stuff is top notch. I agree with droldsmorland, get the made in USA stuff and you're in good shape.

It is my understanding is some the goodmark stuff is off shore as well, My quarters for my 69 came from year one and they are offshore..I believe so are the ones from goodmark, there is One company that makes quarter panels here tabco I believe

I have to say I put the quarter panel up on the car and the lines looked very very close, I will see when mounting/installing them, I know I bought a repop 442 bumper, and the bumper is sold by many vendors, I can not believe there will be more than one company making them...

I must agree. I recieved a chinesum qrt. for my 69 442.
It was the biggest pos. All I was able to use it for was a
bottom patch for my scabbed qrt. from a Cutlass.
On a 69 the qrt. comes to a nice point, their's was
rounded and they didn't even cut the hole for the
little rocket light in the right spot.

Whose quarter did you get? I fitted mine over the existing quarter on my vert and it looked pretty good, The light was in the right spot so it seems mine was a year one

Eddie, It's been a few years now.
I got it off evil-bay, with free ship
for like $186. I guess you get what you pay for...
Pretty expensive bottom patch though. I was
going to use it, but the more I looked at it, then
got my tape measure out... I was ready to smash
the damn thing, it made a nice patch, oh well.
