I just bought a pair of A-pillar trim pieces off Ebay and one of them has a couple of cracks in it. What's the best way to repair these cracks? I was thinking of just using super glue on the back side of each crack but they I got to thinking maybe an epoxy of some sort might be better, like maybe JB Weld or something similar. What has worked for you guys?

Buy some loctite epoxy it's about $7, and you can get some abs plastic from a stereo shop and bond a piece on the back side of the piece if you have the clearance on the backside.

Who is going to be putting them out?  Tony D'Agostino?  I knew he was talking a couple years ago about making them.

For cracks in plastic I use stuff called Ambroid Pro-Weld, it's not a glue, it seeps into the crack and fuses the plastic back together. You should be able to find it at a hobby shop. I bought some online a few years ago when I learned about it since I'm out in the middle of nowhere with no hobby shops near me. Just google Amboid Pro-Weld and you should find some online if you want to go that route.
