    I bought a set and wasn't satisfied. I ended up returning them. Everything was just a little off - fit, finish, quality. They just looked like repros. I think you'll be much happier with a set of good originals.

    Thanks for your input. I had my originals redone a couple of years back. The passenger side folding pocket is already warped so that it doesn't close flush with the bottom of the armrest.

    Someone needs to make these out of ABS instead of fiberglass or cardboard. Just as with the 74 and on pockets, I bought some fiberglass ones that I didn't bother to use, I then found some made of ABS, they have been on my car for 7 years and are still perfect. Once covered indistinguishable from originals.
    Cardboard absorbs moisture and just warps, like the originals. Fiberglass is too imprecise.

    Thanks David, are the ABS ones you sourced still available for purchase?

    I agree. If you can get the ABS pockets professionally recovered, flocked on the inside, and use correct vinyl and original aluminum trim, that'd be an interesting option.
