Help Me Again, Please!

[rb26stagea]

Hi all,

Well, my car is STILL i9n the body shop, being made rust-free and all pretty again...

I had left instructions to remove the sports racks, but we are having issues: the base plates are unable to be fibreglassed/filled satisfactorily, so it looks like I'll need a set of those plugs/blanking plates that some of you guys have told me about in the past.

There were a lot of people talking about having them available a while ago, but nothing seemed to come of it. So, I ask again, does anyone know where I can get a set? Alternatively, (however unlikely), does anyone who has a smooth roof want to swap for rails??

I assume the guys based in Japan will have a better idea where to find what I'm looking for, but any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Micah

spotted some on yahoo jp the other day... try slidewise in the body trim search. could have been there...

gota post some pics when they're off! im still not sure about getting rid of mine... dunno how it'll look

D.

yeah: i love the look without them...

in the meantime, the bases will be colour coded, and the racks left black (I want my car back asap!), until I can sort this out...

[rb26stagea]

Just bumping in the hope that someone knows where to get these!

If you want, Micah, I can have a quick look in my HyperRev catalogues to see who makes them. It might make it easier to narrow down your search... I'm pretty sure they're made by Dolphin Aeroform, though.

im just getting the racks removed, the holes in the rails are having pieces plastic welded in place then filler to smooth, then colour coded to the car. Rackless.

Bases are stainless, not plastic: that's the issue: it's too thin to weld plates in....

Goldzilla, that would be great, Cheers!

such a shame, I like a good rack

I've had a quick scan through the HyperRev magazines I have here, and it seems there are quite a few cars with the rail replacement covers on them, but I can't figure out if they're all the same covers from one place, or each garage/supplier has their own sets made up.

I'll go through them again later and list all of the ones that had them on their cars.

BTW, I highly recommend that all Stagea owners get a set of these magazines for themselves - they're almost completely written in Japanese, but there are plenty of ideas you can get just from the pictures.

funkymonkey should still have some for sale - he ones you want for the Stagea are volumes 38 and 67.

Can someone post up some pics of a 'rackless' series 1 Stagea. I have never seen one and am thinking of doing this.

Will Selley's No More Gaps work? LOL

im just talking about the plastic strips that run down the roofline, nothing steel....

EGA4IT had carbon fibre strips on his car and no roof racks.

Have these two. They are used but there are no stains on them. Near new. Great for reference for parts

Will do them at half funky's price plus post
