All of our Vanagon panels are European made - some genuine VW, others aftermarket where genuine is no longer available.  I have not had any complaints about the fit or quality of any of them. I have to bring most of them in from Germany myself, as supply in the U.S. has dwindled to almost nothing.  I can confidently say that our quality and selection are unmatched in the U.S.  Nevertheless there are some panels that are no longer available, even in Germany, leaving a used cut-out as your only alternative.

Most of our Vanagon panels can be seen at this link, but it doesn't list some newer offerings that I haven't yet had time to put on that page...

This catalog page includes those plus a few additional ones...
