Vantage Plastics - pirep

[bryris]

I ordered a new flap/trim plastic cover for between the seats. When I opened the box, my first impression was how flimsy the piece was compared to the original. The original is chipped and in need of replacement, but it is definitely the original and with 5,200 hours and 44 years of folks sliding into that left seat, I think it did pretty well. This new one is so flimsy and thin. I'm worried it won't last but a few years. I paid $110 for this little flimsy thing.

This is my first order through them. I am curious if this is normal. Anyone have experience with this outfit? I've always heard of Texas Plane Plastics, but Vantage had one in the color I needed whereas TPP only had white. I could paint it, of course, just saves me the effort. Would TPP have been higher quality?

I am quite unimpressed with Vantage's product, especially at the price point.

Also, where can I get new decals? Trim UP/DOWN stickers, etc?

Thanks!
