    Sierra Madre Collection

    Hi all

    I've recently purchased products of Sierra Madre and found them to be a great company to deal with particularly with having to ship to New Zealand.

    I am looking at purchasing some reproduction S rocker trim, end caps and bumper ends and wondered if people had experience with these in regards to fit and quality.

    Thanks in advance

    Their repop trim is pretty good in both fit and finish, we installed the S bumper decos, caps and rocker trim without issues.
    The rubber inserts have visible lines from the molds (noticable at the ends) but it's easy to "shave" them with a razor blade.

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    SMC is the best and I like to purchase from them whenever I can. They have grown quite a bit over the years, which reflects a good operation. Due to this, their product line has grown tremendously.

    Russ, are you saying you installed the rear repro bumper decos and they actually fit the profile of the bumper?

    Just received a left sun visor from SMC, manufactured by Porsche Classic Parts. Looks like the original after a gastric bypass.

    I've been very satisfied with SMC having been a customer for over four years. The online store is the easiest to use and the service and products have always been satisfactory. Hope they expand their product line even more.

    Cheers!
