Bossbill:
Is the reproduction deluxe interior seat side panel good enough for a concours car?

Not IMO.

They are a waste of time and money in my experience. Fiberglass is too thick causing fitment issues.
Originals come in early or late meaning the later versions have center/side mounting hole that requires one more bracket on the seat frame and early type, this is not there.

Bossbill:
Thanks for the honest opinions!

Opening some of my plastic storage boxes is a bit like Christmas and Halloween.
Pure joy at seeing some things and how nice they are -- utter horror at others.

Anyone have any luck with plastic repair on these?
I have a combination of some goobered attempts at creating a 5th hole and instead they created a 7 hole; some issues at the front holes; and a broken tab in the rear.
I think it's something I picked up along the way as both of my seats are 4 hole.
Thankfully the chrome is still in excellent nic (always wanted to use that word -- wonder how you spell it?).

I assume the passenger side is much more common as I found an excellent spare with chrome for that side. Time to hit the ads.

[on edit -- I always edit, so get used to it! Clear up one sentence to be clearer]

They come up for sale pretty regularly. There are postings on repair on CMF. Can search later if nobody beats me to it.

I agree that Plastex works great
