Mine are faded and broken in some spots.

Can these be bought new ( probably be expensive ) or do they have to be fixed and painted/dyed ?

What do you use and how did it work ?

Mine are scarlet red and I want to keep the same color.

Seems like there would be an abundance of used red ones as nobody much likes a red interior.

Thanks for any help.

i would try craigslist and see if any cars are being parted out or cars that are being sold for cheap and ask if you could buy the pieces you need.... just a suggestion

I've seen reproductions once upon a time of the hatchback panels. You might could fix yours, any pics of said panels, on your car maybe we could help you fix yours

Kinda interested in how good the paint/dye works, the breaks aren't to terribly bad for now, they are really sun faded.

dying them usually isnt too bad. its all in the prep. i died some stuff in a 6cyl car i sold and it worked just fine.

Look in my build thread, I've dyed every panel in my car except for the center console pad. I used SEM dye, I scuffed them with a scuff pad, wiped em with lacquer thinner, and sprayed em. It turned out awsome to, is . And I had a few holes in my console and a crack, I used a 5min plastic epoxy to patch them. It takes a little time and patients
