[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Factory Option? & What does this sheet mean?



Well it probably is stainless but it is dull enough right now to 
make you think it is aluminum (LOL). Guess I should have bitten it 
to determine the metal content. (:-P) I will take a couple of photos 
of the rockers today and put them into my album.
As far as the sheet goes, it is a piece of brown waxy paper and the 
letters appear to be painted on? The paint is graphite in color and 
textured metallic. At 30 years of age, it will flake off if wiped 
too hard. I can't tell if the letters are stenciled or not. But it 
caught my eye when I took the old carpet & padding out yesterday. 
That showed me just how nice the floor is in this car! It is really 
factory fresh. Even the plastic plugs look new. ~Lu~
