Door card Trims, Seat covering, colsole covering and hoodlinings

You'd want to store them in some rat/mouse proof way, rodents love to get their teeth into new trim!

[we wreck xx7s only]

the trouble with the doortrims on the market today is that they are made from the same vinyl as the seats, way too thick, so they look too full and NQR, as per factory they where a lightweight vinyl that was also used on the rear of the front seats, a bit more plastic was in the vinyl and they welded differently that current stuff does, still good but no real cigar from any doortrim maker regardless of who makes them, but its better than nothing or old ratty doortrims

generally trim is so over priced in my opinion.

that's usually cos the maggot beater has lashed the poor car builder 5 times what was originally agreed on, the painter scratches his head saying " oh its a lot more than I thought" well shit dude, its a paint in and out yanno.....then the engine builder has got into you, then the diff guy has smashed you, then the rest of the guys have ripped you, and once it goes to the second most important part of the cars build(after the paint, what is the most visible part of a car?????you guessed it THE TRIM!!!! NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!) the trim, everyone whinges when they are quoted 3k to trim the car?????
25k body, 10k paint, 7-8k motor box, 3k wire, pipes 1k, chrome/mould reco if no chrome $5k, the list goes on, but GOD FORBID $5K on a full trim!!!!!!!

I agree. The new trims look GREAT! But wouldn't it be good if we could get some thinner correct vinyl for them!

Good stir Vombil...then we would have the lighter and thinner duty vinyl...but it will be on the seats and the door cards vinyl will be like tissue paper

I agree Valencia, we are indeed lucky that the materials and skills needed are still available. I was very happy with the price, $1300 for the complete package delivered to Broken Hill..and it arrived in 2 days. Elias packed the trim very well and was totally professional and helpful through the whole deal. If you haven't guessed I can't recommend him highly enough!!

[Valencia]

Thats a bloody good deal if you ask me i know who will be doing mine

Just checked my quotes from other trimmers you got a bargain and a good job to boot
