Default Door skin

Hi i hope someone can tell me what to do. I am at the point to order a doorskin for my 29 roadster. But if i look at Mac's it will be $265,- and Snyder "only" ask $ 145,-? So a difference of $120,- thats is a huge difference to me. have one off you any experince with one of these skins or are they the same and is Mac's only more expensive?
I did order before by Mac's and Snyder and have no problems with both with shipping etc. i only want the know wich skin is better.

The door skin is actually manufactured by Albrecht Towing and redistributed.

If you look at a car door (almost any car) you'll see that it is made from two pieces and joined at a seam at the perimeter.

The outer piece is frequently less embossed than the inner and is known in the trade as "the skin."

I look apart a Model A truck door attempting to save it. It's amazing how rigid the door is when together and how flimsy the parts are when apart.

If you look a little closer, they are $185 from Snyders, $190 from Berts and $265 from Macs. Where did yo come up with $120.? Just curious.
