 as long as you spend your money on inferior parts they have no reason to make them right.after the very first quarter and other parts were stamped they should have been very carefully checked not after they were sold. its called quality control but as long as you accept half right parts then spend your money. it cost no more to make them right. it cost no more to make them right.   but it does cost more to rework what isn't right..................... :popcrn:

Not having seen or measured the hood lip that was being discussed here-none of us have the right to critisize the part.Perhaps it is made to the same dimension as the originals-which we know sometimes had a clearance issue themselves.Making the part to the factory specs is the right thing to do.It is up to the installer to make sure clearances are right on any part.You can't expect AMD to make the lip shorter than OEM-then you would have more complaints.
As for the marker lamp openings on the 1/4 panels-yes that should be corrected-no question.I have not seen  the repro Plymouth 1/4's in person yet,so I don't know anything about the contour issue you mention.From what I have seen and read,AMD is doing a fine job of trying to make panels for us.They need the feedback to make improvements.Lets try to be positive here and if their parts need attention-tell them so they can take action.By working together instead of against each other they, and other companies can make better parts for us.

The thing about AMD is that they seem to back there products well. Seems whoever had any problems AMD is more then willing to do whatever it takes to correct the issue. There customer support alone, backed with there quality products cant be beat. Yes no product is "perfect" obviously some panels will have there issues but i think there doing a fine job with correcting any problems that may arise   :2thumbs:

I feel your pain about the hood, but it should have been test fitted before being painted. At least there not running away saying "You should have test fitted, sorry not our fault".
