The aforementioned front bumper cap, the lower valence, and possibly my tailgate cap.

since your wanting the plastics i believe you will be ok... The issue i have had with most aftermarket body parts was the thineness of the sheet metal... Most after market sheet metal parts are usually thinner.... Back in the day when i restored several mustangs we had to hunt around for orginal parts and rework them because the repop stuff what insanely thin...

I've bought a bunch of stuff among the 67-72 trucks I've had and there are varying degrees of quality. I bought an aftermarket grill shell for a 71 and it fit like crap nd I bought interior parts that fit perfect and lasted 5 years +. I would say if the price is too good to be true it'll probably fit like crap.

Shop around though, they're the cheapest on a lot of stuff but they also mark up random crap I assume to make up the margin.
