914 Rubber Bumper Tops, Back in Stock - New Molds? Options

[frank_c]

I received an email from 914 Rubber earlier in the week that the Front & Rear Bumper Top kit was back in stock (I requested an in-stock notification months ago). I went to the site this morning and discovered that they are out-of-stock again already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

I called 914 Rubber after checking the site just to confirm the stock status (yes, out-of-stock), and to also ask if these bumper tops were from the new mold that 914 Rubber was making. The sales agent said she was pretty sure these were from the new mold, but I forgot to ask when the stock will be replenished.

Question - did anyone here happen to purchase a pair of these this week, and if so, any feedback on the fit and finish? IIRC, there were some complaints about the pieces from the previous molds, which is why a new mold was created.

Thanks,
Frank

If you do a search, there was some workarounds for the ends sticking out. Put washers under the studs on the ends and worse case drill holes in your bumper and use sheet metal screws to pull the ends in. Washers didn’t help my situation and I wasn’t going to drill holes in my bumper.
