The panels are made from thinner metal. Front aprons are really, really bad - not very straight at all. Guards are useable; with a little bit of massaging they fit OK. Grilles are made of really cheap plastic and lose their shape after a day in the sun.
This is just from my experience... Perhaps we should add a section on aftermarket panels in the WIKI??

I haven't used the aftermarket sills but i'd bet dollars to donuts that they're made from the same thin metal as the rest of the panels. If you cut a section of your old sill out, your local sheetmetal worker will be able to roll you some from THICKER material, which will resist rust for longer and stiffen the body of your ute.
Or you could buy a new one and give that to your sheetmetal worker as a template.

That has also been said a million times. Just answer it or forget it. Its that simple. Aftermarket panels fit or can be made to fit. The quality is up to the individuals opinion. Some swear they are perfect. Others easily see the differences.
