New Old Stock (or Nitrous Oxide)

Usually means parts found at various and sundry GM dealerships, Car dudes garages, etc. that is replacement sheetmetal and millions of other parts.

In my opinion, the best way to tell if it's GM sheet metal is the fit. The other tell is the condition of the fender/hood/part. Does it have a GM part number?

Of Course, I'm using GM as an example. Ford same, Chrysler, well, they are a fanatical bunch, I'll let one of them chime in.

Hope that helps.
