I am sorry, i believe youre correct. I may have made a mistake in putting that these fit on an SA.

Ah yes. Thanks. Definitely different from our 84-85 door trims. Ours look like SAs.

Can't find please help

Hey there. I must be blind or inept. I've tried to find these on eBay but I just can't find them. Please help me if you can. I have a 85 gsl se that is immaculate except for those darn lips broken on my door pull cups. Interior is black/ gray so I need something close. I'm a machinist/ tool and die maker so I understand what you're doing here. Thank you for your effort. Can you help me out? I need both doors. Thank you in advance.

Hey, they are not up anymore because they sold out in a matter of hours. I make them in batch so right now I am making new molds, the Olds ones have reached their limit. Send me a pm and as soon as I have them up for sale I will pm you so you don't miss them.

Thank you!! You're gentleman and a scholar!! I'm relatively new to this forum so you tell me how to do this when the time comes that you have more. I'm old school and I don't have pay pal access. When you get them I guarantee I will pay for them. Just let me how and when. You'll have my full compliance. I have a UPS account in my business and can pay for them any way you feel comfortable. Those two pulls have bothered me though few notice. Glad you're doing this. Your molds must be aluminum and limited production. In any case put me on your list!! I think mine are black. It's in storage now will have to look. Thank you!! Names Paul.

How well do these hold up if painted? I'd love to have a set already in burgundy, can you die the plastic?

I can't say about them being painted. I know I have had members paint them before, but I don't have any feedback. In terms of getting it in burgandy already, the supplier I get the raw material from does not have the burgandy and unless I get alot of orders before hand, its not cost effective for me to get the supplier to develop the color. Not all colors are created equal when it comes to plastic dye.

Any news on the next batch of these Kutu? I would like to get a couple sets (burgundy preferred, but black can be painted).

Everyone, sorry about the delay. Been real busy with work and school. I am hoping to have the new molds ready soon. I am trying to improve my output since batches of 10 is not nearly enough to satisfy the demand. Keep watch in the forums.

Btw. I looked at mine and they are actually dark gray and not black. In any event I'm still anxiously awaiting your next run. Let me know when they are ready and I'll arrange payment for you. Thank you!!

For those of you that pm me i will most likely not put them up on ebay to make sure everyone that pm me gets their set and not miss out. Once i pm you that they are ready, i would appreciate a quick response and payment. thanks to everyone for being patient.
