Posted April 19, 201212 yr comment_387552 Hi. Been browsing for a couple years but this is my first post. So, first, thanks for all the great information!I'm flip-flopping between replacing my interior plastic panels or just refurbing the originals. Car is a 1970 240Z. After all the comments on the time consuming process of trim/fit/repeat for new panels, I'm wondering if all the vendors are selling panels made by the same manufacturer. I can't really believe that enough demand exists for more that one manufacturer to be making these panels.So, anyone know if they're all the same? If their are different manufacturers, any better than another? Are they correct for a Series 1 (lacking hatch side vent holes)?Thanks for the help.

April 19, 201212 yr comment_387560 All the ones I've seen have the vent holes. The panels are thermo-formed from a larger sheet, then hand trimmed, so there is some variation. Also, not all Z's are "exactly" the same, so the panels have a bit of extra material in spots to allow for fitting. It's just vinyl, so it's easy to trim with a sharp knife and finish the edge with a file. Fitting isn't that difficult.

April 19, 201212 yr Author comment_387595 Thanks for the reply, Oiluj. If they all have the vent holes my decision might already be made. Seems that if you want the grain pattern to be consistant you would need to replace all or none.
