I know that sn65 is having problems with his sillplates and it sounds like they need to be thinner. My question is: has anyone ever found anything thicker than the aluminum foil variety that shows EVERY little poke or jab? Seems like I have to replace mine on my 68 coupe every 3 months.
Any help out there?
Thanks-

Definitely post about their quality; I've been wondering if they are worth the extra cost.

Will do. They won't be here until, "After the New Year."
