Correct Will, but the hard plastic trim on Cs when exposed to the sun over lengthy time frame will make them brittle and chalky

parts like the plastic kick panels and windlace did not hold up as well as the interior panels on Jezebelle. I had to locate replacements for them.

Agreed , the seat backs and side shields took a beating too
The kick panels on mine were toast. Fortunately, the car came with some nice spares that just needed a color change from.... drum roll.... green. I'll swear that at least half of my interior pieces were originally green.
The pieces that seem to be in the worst shape were the plastic trim pieces on the front of the rear door panel. I had three sets and all on them were crap. I ended up sanding them down to where I hit good plastic and then painting them. The pattern that is supposed to resemble wind lace is gone, but they look OK and unless I pointed it out, you wouldn't spot it. I had one set each of white, tan and blue. The blue was in the best shape, but really only because the mounting tabs weren't too screwed up.
