Does anyone know if the are the same? I have a coupon for 20% off at classic but most of the time the ricks parts are better from what I have seen.

Call rick's and verify if they are OER or classic headquarters. If OER, then they are the same

[JamesJ]

Do you think that OER is a better piece or the classic headquarters?

[MuscleRodz]

most OER parts are crap imo, but there are some parts that only they have and no choice but to use them. I have a pair of OER lights, and they seem to be fine, but if I have a choice, I always choose anything but.

little off topic but I've had trouble dealing with classic in the past, slow to respond and even slower to ship but that's just my 2 cents,

the ones that rick's sells are called classic headquarters, since rick sold to ecklers he still supplies them with the part, sometimes Rick's will sell OER parts because Classic Headquarters dosn't make the part, Classic Industries is OER, because OER is there own manufacturing wholesale, they do sell some Classic Headquarter parts, but if they, do for the most part, they repackage the part (IE door panels are Al Knock reboxed OER) and so on

Yup, Classic headquarter, got them today, I was at the local camaro store the other day and held a Classic headquarter head lamp bezel and an other manufacture, you could how much heavier and better the chrome ring was on the Classic headquarters, just amazing to see in person

Glad you noticed the difference, many people shop price alone and end up with a less than quality part, and justify it by saying its all imported but there are really better levels of import out there, thicker metal, better polish, cleaner stampings, ask the vendor not every manufacture does every part well, but many aftermarket products are getting to be much better quality, I just swapped in a new Dynacorn trunk lid in my 68 camaro and the fitment was great and the trunk actually weighed more than the factory GM and the Fit was spot on! but the header panel i had from them sucked the Goodmark header was far Superior to even the NOS Gm panel I have?? imagine that better than GM?
