can you also do a quick rub with a dry microfiber towel to see how easily they scratch compared to OEM?
Originals are surprisingly resistant to scratch and easy to polish

Good point, not all SS is made the same so to speak. I wonder if they would divulge what grade they use?

Re: Reproduced Side Trims (low & high) from Vietnam
Here are some shots of the trim on the car in comparison to the original. The reproduction one's edge are a bit sharp and appears to be a straight-cut than the original where the ends are “rounded†and more defined. The original is on the bronze colored car. Enjoy!

Re: Reproduced Side Trims (low & high) from Vietnam
I think those would be perfectly adequate for 98% of the roadster owners. Nice to see some inexpensive reproduction parts available.

Re: Reproduced Side Trims (low & high) from Vietnam
Those prices have gone up quite a bit since January.
Has anyone ordered, received and installed any side trim, especially the early concave trim?

Hello Ray-
I have been communicating with Amy for the correct length for my 64 which she said they will reproduce. However,I’d be willing to entertain obtaining originals if you have, let me know.
