I'm not busting balls, just re-stating what I was told.  I talked to a reliable source who said ROCPAR is not making them (as announced last year).  If Chargerkid is listening, and I'm wrong.... then feel free to chime in.  :nana:

I tried making them out of a few things and they all looked like shit.

Rubber door trim

Lip gard trim
http://www.trimlok.com/detail.aspx?ID=1226

flap seal
http://www.trimlok.com/detail.aspx?ID=1474

Took some and fixed it to the old filler frame with some painted washer and bolts and it just did not look right.  Still holding out for some reproduction stuff that looks better.

it was a while ago and I never took photos. I could not come up with a way of hiding the bolt heads and washers,  you need to find somehting that has that hidden lip for the mounting to the bumper.  otherwise it just looks like some jerryrigged deal.

Wow...that looks awesome.  I was wondering what happened to my door edge guard.  It looks like the same material that seals the doors on my trailer!  I didn't know I wasn't going to make the rubber reveals.  I am amazed..I would like to know the source.  Maybe you can tell me tomorrow at the WPC swap meet.  I'll be there at 5:00am.   Can't wait to see BEA's production of them.  Keep the China economy going! WOOHOO!!!!

BMOTOXSTAR not only will I sell the carpet and trunk mat, but will also sell the "correct" steering column.  You welcome.... for me covering up for your mistake.  I can't belive you sold the guy that it would fit his car. :lol:  It's ok I made it right so he didn't go after you.  But keep up the good work!

I sent you a PM. :icon_smile_cool:

The factory stock trunk mats are all rubber

really ? down here were thick vinyl. Just got another one who seller acclaims vinyl, so I'll have now the rubber one I got from year one and this one in vinyl... I'll decide when I get what will keep.

The rubber one got a small finish damage thought because drop some paint with solvent on it and erased the pattern on some areas.!

Is a rubber filler attached around of bumpers. On those years to meet with colission retrictions, bumpers were enlarged from body to get less damage on body due a small collision. Since enlarging bumpers got a big gap with body, filler were attached

is the gray stuff... tipicaly dry and brown because sun burnt, around the 73 and laters bumpers

Its not good business to put-down others in this hobby - -  and will definately bite you in the ass (if it hasn't already).  You can say what you want, but at least people will get bumper fillers......sorry this thread caught you during a bi-polar moment.  :eek2:

Tufcat,

Please refrain your comments about being bi-polar.

I called you at the swap meet.  I looked at you several times, but you can't stop by and talk to me. 

P.S.  Mike Ross is a good person and is doing well in the business.  I have spent alot of money on his parts.  Mike knows me and we have discussed the rubber reveal mouldings.

Thank you,

Rob

Good damage control! :icon_smile_big: Hey, I was only making a point,  not trying to turn this into a message board war  :bow: . I didn't mean literally,  I meant as  "catching you at a bad moment" :P.  I won't say anything more about this subject because I'm afraid of you  :whistling:  :scared:.

Sent BE&A some pic's of my Rear Fillers. I have to get some better ones of the front.If they meet his designing standards ,we may be seeing Fillers in the  near future. Mike is a no BS person and practices what he preaches with no false hopes. :2thumbs: 
  I have been to his workshop and it is a 100% class act operation.  :Twocents:
I will know in a few days as soon as I get him the other pic's and if I do not meet the standards I hope that someone on the site can help support the cause.
