Anybody have any real experience with them ?

Search didn`t turn up anything specific, I`m curious if the color(blue) and grain are correct with respect to original pieces.
It matters on the car they need to go on.

Thanks
Rick

There is a place in Canada that is remaking them and sells them on E-bay. I don't know the quality of them though. Just Dashes restores your originals but isn't cheap. Got a 69 Charger with a blue interior? I am getting ready to stick a huge lot of 1969 Charger blue interior parts on E-bay. Take care, Mopar Clint..........

Ive dealt with Mike Ross of B,E,&A body with parts for our chally convert and charger. Mike has a VERY high standard for correctness and his parts are second to none. From what I have heard (as I have not seen these door pads yet) they are not 100% but are as close as you can possibly get to originals. The ones that Just Dashes reskins lose a lot of detail. These new repro door pads that Mike has come out with have all of the tight, crips lines in them like originals do. The only slight difference is the graining which when you replace them all, will not be able to be seen unless you physically hold an original next to it.

I have seen the upper door bolsters both front and rear. The ones I saw were white '69's. Compared to what we had in the past from Just Dashes and Laysons, these rock !!!!

I'll eventually be getting a set for my '68 Charger R/T..

Make sure you save the rears because you'll have to transplant the window felts. Just undo the staples that hold the originals together and then use some very small screws to attach the felts to the new bolsters. Make sure the heads of the screw are shallow enough not to interfer with the glass while it's moved up and down. Also, a suggestion would to paint or use a black Sharpie to color the head of the screw so it blends in with the felt.

Cheers,
Troy

Thanks guys, this is the kind of stuff I wanted to know.
I`m also not overly impressed with just dashes on some of this little stuff, some people may not notice the loss of detail..I do That was the reason for asking.
I was really hoping to avoid replacing the rears, as they are perfect and this is a 8000 original mile car, but if that is the way it has to go, so be it.

The contour line down the middle on the other vendor's product leave a lot to be desired.
