They will match AA's other pieces. They have the seat belt pillars and roll bar cover. George ran a special on them last year.

Your manufacturer has to be the only one in the world that doesn't have a haircell pattern. Even American haircell would be a respectable replacement.
Specially with that piece that only a restorer would want. |

Almost looks like it was textured during a painting process post-molding instead of coming from a textured mold. |

I have send an e mail to Juergen our manufacturer expressing your concerns. May have something to do with the material, tried to use something that would not shrink crack or fade. He has access to all of the latest materials they use for Toyotas and Hondas

How much are they, George? I just wasted money on an inferior used one. Day late, dollar short as usual.

Better than an old cracked and torn piece, but the grain is really quite off.
