ok dmc joe, lets put aside our differences. i have a question. i know that houston has a reproduction wide accent strip for less than your original ones... but they aren't in stock. i don't care about original, but i'm willing to spend more money to get them now... but are your strips in good condition... i mean after 20 years is this rubber.. plastic.. whatever still gonna stick to the car and look good. and can you give me some more info about what they're made of and how to apply them. thanks!! and if someone from houston is listening... are your's in stock yet?
