Default Stamped body panels?

I'm looking into new body panels. Other then honda, where can I get stamped body panels, or very precise hand rolled ones that would be very close fitment to the factory ones. If anyone know it would be well appreciated, any body panels will do so if you know of a company post it up and I will check them out regardless.

I've check out:

Thanks.

I've heard good things about cross canada, but never used them myself. I'm probably going to do this next year if I keep the rig, so I'm interested as well.

When I was working at a parts store, I bought 2 cross canada rocker panels, and they didn't look good at all, but Kyle (khunt0012) got his panels from cross canada and they fit well. I don't know I'm gonna look at the panels again and see what they are like. I'm more worried about the part where the little groove at the bottom of the door goes flat for the wheel arch, im afraid it's gonna be really messy looking there...

Bah, maybe my standards of panels are set too high...

Yah Seb, with our standards I wouldn't buy anything from Cross Canada as far as fenders go. I'm super happy with my hood, lip and rad support.

Problem is, CroCan hand rolls all their fenders and 9/10 they end up looking and fitting like ****. I could order you up a set and we could see if they're decent. We can always just send them bck if you don't like them.

Gimme a call man, haven't talked to you in a while.

Ya I know my rocker panels I got a while ago sucked. I'm hoping for a good batch. I can't find anything except cross canada so you know, I'll probably order then and make them fit with some spare metal or something.

Sorry I haven't been around. Been super busy getting my stuff togeter, and last night we got a phone call saying my grandpa was laying on his death bed, and my parents rushed to ottawa to see him before he dies . I'll be quite busy this week. I'll order the panels when money shows up for them tho.

Ah man, sorry to hear about your Grandpa, that sucks. My uncle is also on his way out right now with Parkinsons and Alzeihmers. Shitty timing.

As for the fenders I'd suggest that we order some in and take a look at them. I can order them in before you put any cash against them. Also, if you want we can talk to Matts (msequence) body guy. He did Matts paint and bodywork for 1000$ and he does pretty good work from what I've seen.

I'll call you tonight and see what's going on. I've got some good cigars that need to be smoked, maybe do that and chill out a little.
