Legendary doesn't make upper Brougham door panels for our cars, I wish they did. SE and Brougham are not the same. I'd be interested where they came from myself.

They have to be NOS. He had them on Ebay and they look killer but the emblems are painted? black. Maybe a factory screw up and that's why they went to distribution. Hate to say it but you ought to see the crap factory sends for parts nowdays. Chrysler is the worst, really, but I had a fender for a new GMC that had no mounting holes. None, they weren't drilled. Just got a GM door for a new Camaro that was so wavy it looked like a blind one armed wall paper hanger put the doorskin on. And yes Chrysler parts are usually worse.... Easy to fix with a little thinner on a rag. I would have loved to have them but going green from black is a pain and the chrome doesn't come off so you would have to mask it off and if you pull off the chrome you are back to the reason you bought them for. Too many variables and mine are nice just the chrome missing. Probably the only set in existence too.

Still need to find some of the door pulls to go on them or I will end up using the Dorman generics until I do.

I've seen some of the replacement panels had plastic instaed of metal "Brougham" emblems and the chrome just wore off quickly.

[/quote] Awesome! Glad they went to a good home. Did I tell you that they looked really warped in one picture, 1 looks smaller than the other and the seller told me not to tell but they have a real distinct odor to them like a hog confinement and vomit combined? Just have them drop shipped to my house so that I can dispose of them for you. No buyer remorse here that I didn't buy the only set of Brougham door panels in existence, no siree. Show us some pics of the back side when you get them so we can see if they are NOS. Enquiring minds would like to know.
