aftermarket b-pillar trim

tried to install them today. I cannot recommend them. They are made out of fiberglass, makes them break easily if you pull the screws too tight. And the size and shape of them is not exactly like theoriginal part. If you want them anyway, buy at hawks for 75$ a pair. Thirdgenresource (which we all know, sucks big time) asks 150 quid for the same...

I almost forgot, i did some minor repairs and exchanged some parts of the interiour. I have to say that the quality of the interiour and especially of the convertible-specific parts/mods is so bad that it scares me. I highly doubt that i will ever get used to this.........

Just a FYI, the version that TGR is selling isn't the same as Hawks version. As you've correctly stated Hawks are molded of fiberglass. TGR's are molded from ABS, so it more closely matches the original. IMO they are a bit pricey though. For some reason ThirdGenResource's site was disabled. You'll find them on their new site FBodyMotorsports.com.
