We still have not had an expectable set from the manufacturer they have been all most there but not quiet. They are well over due, we will hopefully have them by the end of August .They will only be sold in sets of 4 and will sell for around 775.00 per set.

We are still waiting for the final sample, which is due now. The factory has been completing the curveature from the top to bottom. The front to rear of each arch is correct and the roll formed shape works well to hold onto the clip.It is just the fine tuning to get it right, I reckon we are about 90% there but would like it 100%.

The factory just advised they are sending a new sample set tomorrow (Wed 10th)They take a few days to get here. These should have the red insert, same colour red as the wheel trim centres.They look 100% now and were difficult to pick by some experts when put together with some original stock.Later model styles will be done once the fitment is approved for these.

We just approved the last samples for fitment. The factory is producing the raw stock now and we are waiting for a painted set to finalise approval and shipment.Now we are at this stage they are completeing the tooling to do the ends for the later models.It has taken a long time but fitment and appearance is very important for this item.Pricing and availability will be advised as soon as we know the shipping dates.

The samples were approved for fitment for the HK red and the HT Black and the production is nearly completed.A set was sent to HK1837 for his comments, but he hasnt replied to date.Probably because he was fitting them to a car some distance from his home.The end finish has been given the thumbs up from a number of people who have seen them.A sample set was on display at the Summernats.Les will update the arrival and costing as soon as it is known.

The red wheel arch moulds are now in stock. The black paint ones for later models are due to be shipped soon. These have the finished ends where they meet up with the side moulding.All come with new clips,screws and rivets.
