From what I have heard, DVV is a top notch supplier. Dave will talk your ear off when you call for information and orders.

If you go to the Order from Catalog tab and enter ZX184878N just like that it will pull up what you are looking for.

Dave is getting pretty low on these, I bought what might have been his last set for a TC. He said he had several more left for the Hatchbacks though.

When you mitred the corner at the back, did you cut it completely and refasten (glue or something) or were you able to just cut out some of the material to bend it in a 90 degree angle needed without bunching up?

answer for Brian's Question,,,,,As I remember I left enough to have strength at the mitre cut but I suposse you could cut the piece all the way through and mitre it and dab a tack of glue ,Sorry for not getting back to you sooner as I have been reading the april frist stuff with a little caution,,Mike 8)
