Received a Vewlix L repro panel from Rbtamanini today. Some early thoughts:
* Packaging is very good. Rbtamanini is using a wood or very heavy duty rigid cardboard box to ship these in. The panel is very well protected and arrived with no damage. It's not bent or warped. Big thumbs up.
* I ordered a semi-custom 2P16B Vewlix L panel with labels for XBOPC controls. The panel graphics look fantastic and the labels look awesome. My only complaint is that the color does not match the original Vewlix L panel or side-art. Yes, I have a real Vewlix and not a Chewlix -- but you can see the repro color is more silver and lighter. The original panel I have matches the marquee and side-art color perfectly.
* I have not installed it yet, but the posts appear to match the original just fine. The quality all around is truly excellent.
I'm not sure if I will actually keep this panel or not. It's mostly exactly what I wanted, but the color is way way way off and is very noticeable. Even my wife who knows jack about this stuff asked why the color was different.
