Aesthetic Creations Molded Covers

Has anyone ordered the Aesthetic Creations molded covers for the R56?
The photos look good but sometimes they don't tell the full story. How is the quality and fit? I know vinyl will work but checking out the options.

Not molded covers, but I orderd a few other things from them last summer (A panel decal, domed interior) excellent quality. Only complaint was it took a real long time to recieve my items (I believe they were in the middle of reorganiztion) but their customer service was excellnent in handeling the delay.

AC is the classic small business. They do get behind, and can be slower than what you expect.

But, they are honest and the workmanship is good. If you have a problem they will correct it.

Highly recommended

I second that, they looked great when I saw them at AMVIV. Unless you are right up on top of the handles you can see a little bit of chrome on the thick end of the handle that attaches to the door. But he normally gives you a small bit of vinyl to cover up that area. We are talking about a 1/16 on a inch showing if that.
