My experience with Tabco parts has been that they don't tend to fit well. 

Reports on quality from those who have bought from KlassicFab have been very good.

Which area??

The flat area of the slam panel or the very end of the quarter panel? There are at least five different panels that meet in this area

240Z slam panel

I patched those same areas myself.  The quarter end wasn't easy, but I don't recall that there were good alternatives.  The slam area was easier, but I probably would have used an available panel if I did it again.

The underside sections are pretty straightforward to form by hand, but the slam panel (the one you look at) is easier to buy and fit up.

Is the 240 slam panel tge same as a 280

[Patcon]

Yes, I believe they are all the same
