Rubber trim kits
I'm going to send my '79 911SC in for paint this spring and need some advice on who supplies the best trim/weather stripping and/or kits thereof.
The shop I'm going to does great work, but more for hot rods (not a Porsche guy). The guy is a pro, so this thing will be taken down to pretty small parts. As I have not replaced weather stripping, etc. before, I would appreciate any advice on which to replace. It's primarily older things like front bumper extension beads, fender to cowl beads, even door handle seals, that I need advice on. They all add up, but I want this thing to look finished. Please advise. Thanks very much. |

Get the complete set. You won't save any money or time buying it piecemeal. Good luck.

Buy OEM (Porsche) rubber whenever possible; especially for the glass. The reproduction rubber often doesn't fit.

I'll second the factory parts, no matter where you get them they'll be better than the repro stuff. Saves time ($) at the shop because things fit and there isn't a lot of argueing about the end result or paying them to install the repro part and then having to pay them again to put the factory part in to make it look right. The cost differnce is easily recouped in the quality of the parts.

thanks for the feeback, guys. If anyone can advise on how to go about buying packages of trims, that would be great. That said I am on a budget. While the package concept sound great, I don't think I need to replace EVERY piece of rubber on the car. It's mostly the smaller bits that need updating.
Any additional advice about where to order this stuff would be great. Thanks again.
