agree^^^^ its more thae manufacturer than supplier, that said some suppliers use certain manufacturers more than others, jk is fine for many panals and likewise schoeys, some britpart stuff is also iffy , minefield in a way.as a said original best,very good cuts next then pattern

Are you just doing the rear arches alone?
front arch will be the most dissapointing thing you probably ever bought

the fit is dismal and the quality worse, this is from any of the suppliers, you can get away with the rear portion but if your arch itself is good then i would make a join,
