Most people know this one. Sometimes refered to as MSA. I purchased a diamond vinyl kit and some emblems from there, pretty happy. They have a reputation for being over priced on a couple of things.

I recommend comparing prices with www.blackdragonauto.com - they have a large range of products, but its in a catalogue, not a nice website, and the customer service is more basic (no email query service). I got a full rubber kit from black dragon from half the price of that of the local rubber guys.

I haven't fitted the vinyl or the rubber yet but they look good so far.

I find MSA to be a complete pain in the a$$ for availability of parts, they say its in stock but then when you are ready to order (and combine all shipping in one go) they tell you that its out of stock and should be 4-6 weeks away >:(
They can also be difficult to get hold of, pretty much every time i have used their main email address (sales or info@ or something like that) they never get back to me.
Last time i ended up spamming every address i could find until i got a salesmembers address.
For reference, jon(at)motorsportauto.com has been very helpful for me in the past.

As for Black dragon, i havent dealt with them, though i did buy a pair of inner quarter window rubbers (2 seater) and a rear windscreen seal off Tim (RB30X)
He says that he bought them from Black dragon. I was very happy with the quality and fit of them.

Just my 2 cents
I am a man of cast iron, hot rubber and steam. Fire flows when I turn the key. The dragon moves at my command.

I've ordered a few things from them and Jon or abraham (swap the name in the address) have always replied promptly.

Definitely true about them saying they have something in stock and then the order goes in they say, oh, we are just waiting on this bit before we ship it all.  >:(
Also some things do have crazy high prices a the zstore but my experience with Black Dragon is they are always crazy expensive.

I've yet to see a thing in their catalogue reasonably priced.
Please explain things to me like I'm 5.

Hey Saxon, how much was the postage on the rubber kit (think the kit's about $200 from memory). And are they a good product? Need to get one asap but having no luck contacting them.
Cheers
