Hello!
This is about reproduction trunk lid parts.
I'm looking to replace the trunk lid of my 70 Challenger with a new reproduction part, but I'm not sure which one to choose.
There are several manufacturers of reproduction body parts, but I'm wondering whether to go with AMD, which I've ordered from other parts until now, or OER.
Both manufacturers are well-known, but what I'm concerned about is the price difference.
I'm concerned that the OER is more than half the price.
Are they not made as well?
I've been using AMD for other body parts, but the quality is not very good either, so I'm not sure what to choose.
I'd love to hear everyone's opinions.
By the way, I'm planning to use an OER product for the front grille!
Thank you for reading until the end!

No history with OER, but I had a terrible experience with AMD.
They tried everything under the sun to make me think it was the car.
Lid was no where close to fitting, after several back and forths, they admitted they had a bad run and told me to bend it.
After that didn't work, they wanted a pic of the destroyed lid before refund.

I had an AMD lid and it was excellent, but that was 15 years ago. You get what you pay for usually…
That OER lid must be very cheaply made.

You might be better off getting yours worked on. You might be way Further ahead. Given the quality of products any more. What's wrong with yours? Rusted, bent or twisted?
