Does anyone here have any experience with this seller, or their reproduction trim? I was considering buying from them, but wanted to see what the community had to say before I give anyone cash.

Is this a forum member or a company? I think quite a few people would be interested in these parts.

 

[Md.8es]

this is where I saw them and have been in touch with the seller. They are $1000 a set, but I believe the preorder time has expired. If he has more demand maybe he can reopen for orders.

That's Billy_GTS kind of a side project. From what I understand, he's been doing a batch of individual pieces at a time, i.e. 30 copies of the right-rear, then move on and do 30 of the left-rear, then a door and so forth. He recently posted that he's like 3/4 way around the car and waiting on more raw materials hung up in the supply chain chaos (freedom convoy, etc.) to make a batch of the last piece. Optimistically maybe shipping by April? He was only going to make them for those who pre-ordered and put up a deposit a year ago, but since it has taken so long, at least one person backed out publicly, maybe more backed out that we don't know about, so you might get lucky and there be some extras available. However he probably already has a waiting list too. If he says he can help you then he will. He's been around these forums for at least a decade and provided a lot of parts prior to this.

I would be surprized that this is Billy himself.
That name does not ring a bell to me, and it's not Phil Bridges either.
Seriously, this guy should be here if he does aftetmarket parts for the MK2.

The only other one I've heard made some, is a body shop that made a complete restauration on an 85 SDR couple years ago, without really pushing the product availability.

Its the same video that Billy posted.

I don't come on here too often and I haven't finished it yet. Ill probably have a finished product within the coming months. The hardest part was finding trim in good shape to make molds out of

You keep posting that Billy has been around for a decade and this is clearly not true. He joined this forum in 2019. I believe you keep confusing him for BillyM. I think the opinion of more than one person would be drastically different than yours on his credibility/professionalism. This includes some of the true OGs who have been on the boards since the yahoo days. Do your own research on this guy IMO. YMMV.

Have I got them mixed up? Sorry Billy.

 

[RedP85]

I do beleive BILLY_GTS did some GB of front wrap-around in 3 colors, and some very nice aftermarket steering horn buttons.

 

[BillyM]

Not me but I'm nothing if not glad to see Billy's everywhere making parts for the MK2!
