« on: November 22, 2014, 11:25:12 »
Hi,
I am considering replacing my sill moldings with the reproduction ones available on eBay etc.  Has anyone seen these?

good conversation.
coming sometime 2015 around the corner. I plan to get my seat done and the carpeting replace. With the Air Conditioning out of the way it should free space to in stall fresh factory carpeting and floor mats that snap in. did I forget insulation any recommendations. I  have the large thresh hold molding and I am missing the skinny ones I got from the Classic center year ago. any recommendation were to purchase thee best reproduction molding that I need inside the carpeted floor area as you step inside the car.
who does good insulation of carpeting in Los Angeles, California. I like to only due this one time.

everyone have a safe holiday and new year.

Since the volume is so low I would guess that all the moldings are coming from the same source.  I would buy from your favorite trusted supplier.
