SO, that being said, how have you been fixing the scratched, gouged or missing chunks of vinyl that seems to be missing on every seat back I can find Thanks Dan

I stripped mine and painted them with texture paint, not correct at all, but it does not look "bad"... I wish I could find a good source for the orig style... I was quarter way tempted to have them covered in some cheep thin vinyl, but never did...

Do you mean the peices that go around the leather-simulated front that wrap around the sides and back or the actual steel peice on the back? BTW is that QQ1? Really pretty color you've got there.

All 3 pieces have the vinyl,the 2 side skirts and the large seat back cover. Yes, the car is QQ1, thanks for the compliment. If Just Dashes is redoing these, has anyone seen how they look?? Thanks Dan
