Title: Seat sides on e bay Post by: FCRB26 on April 12, 2010, 06:22:57 PM Hi I recently purchased seat sides on e bay very dissapointed they are about the thickness of a 2 litre milk bottle extremely ordinary cutting out of the plastic
Just could not find anyone to make me some fibreglass ones. Anyone else had this problem for 230 something dollars not real happy at all. Also purchased accelerator pedal and dash barrel lights ect surround they were ok.

If so, I would ask what the problem is with the thickness? They are only marginally thinner than original but won't break like originals.
The fiberglass ones in Qld are a very poor job and far inferior to the plastic ones. If the cutting of the excess plastic has gone too far, then return them to the supplier for another set. If the cutting is not enough then you can easily trim some more material off until you are happy. What about the shape and the finish - Is that OK?

I will be intrested to see if they crack in any way.

They are expensive for a few bits of plastic but once you fit them to the seat with the chrome trim they look fantastic.

I painted mine in acrylic to the same colour as the originals and put the stainless strips on and they look great. If you are unhappy with the quality of the ones you received you should return or exchange for better ones
