Hi Larry,
Did you replace them with the stock fiberboard ones, which are oddly expens=
ive for the engine bay valences, or did you find a better alternative.Mine =
are bad too.
Thanks,
Kevin

You've been a busy man my friend.
My Sunday consisted of work on the TR8:
1) Replacement of the gas struts in the trunk (what a pain)
2) Replacement of the glove box straps.
General cleaning up of the trunk...
