HAM8URGER Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Ok, so I have been following this page on Facebook called Retro Garage which is a group/company out of Malaysia. They are into old school Japanese cars and the such and just started making and selling wheels, and other automotive products. Just today they announced that they are now mass producing and selling THESE: I chatted with the guy for a while and apparently they are made from vinyl that matches the stock material to a T. He also told me that they are in the process of putting together a website for international orders but are selling these now via Facebook and PayPal. He told me a full 4 door set is $300.00 Shipped to the US and will go significantly cheaper for a group buy. Told me he provides tracking number. I am waiting for him to get back to me with more details but what do you guys think? I need new panels/door cards for my car and from the 1 crappy picture that I have, they look nice. When I asked him if they are making the rear panels for the 2 door, or a full 2 door set, He said they are currently only making these 4 door panels but said that he can make the 4 piece 2 door sets if we get enough people together to make it a group buy. Don't know exactly how many he has in mind but.... Me thinks $300.00 is a bit steep but they look good Opinions? Thoughts? Here is their FB link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Retro-Garage/261391697209686 Quote Link to comment

HAM8URGER Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Anyone interested in going in on some sets for the 2 door? Quote Link to comment
kgb Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 In for a 4 door set. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I think that price is awesome if the quality is the same as stock. Just try and fine a good used set these days. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I had talked to him as well over a group buy. He seems very reasonable about making alterations if there are enough people. He is talking to his business partner about how many is enough to make changes. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hmm...wonder if he will make white. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hmm...wonder if he will make white. Youd need a large order. He said he would do other colors if enough people wanted them. Same with reproducing 2 dr and wagon panels. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Id just love a extra set to seal up and put up for Blue just in case. You never know whats going to happen, and the quality of these ones i can tell is going to be amazing based off their other work. Hell i may get a set for purple. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 This will kill the value of my mint set for sure... 2 Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 That it kind of will Tr8er. Only reason im intersted in a white set is to put up for the future for my preserved 510. Like ive said you NEVER know whats going to happen, hell for all i know the material behind the panels could be rotting away..? Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I just talked to him and he told me he's going to let me know tomorrow how many people we need for the 2 door sets. When he tells me I'll post a group buy. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment
