Carpet Hold Down strips
 
Is there anyone other than MotorCity making the stainless carpet hold down strips?

I appreciate everything that Motor City does just seems awful expensive to spend $450 for two hold down strips ?

Utahboy use to make them but it seems that is no longer the case

Any other options out there

PS - I know most will say just spend the money ...:waah:

MotorCity K5 took over manufacture from Utahboy from what I understand and no one else is making these. The quality is excellent.

I have the two originals ( both are the same on my model i guess) but I'm not sure the sandblast guy can get them to a good spot - then I'd have to powdercoat them ....

Maybe I'll look for a chrome shop in the Chicago area

Electroplating of El Paso might be an option for chrome. They do good work that’s reasonably priced and did some strips for me. That said, the cost at that time was at or more than the price of the Motor City K5 examples today.
