I got mine from Datsport (datsport.com). Quality is excellent and service is great. Price may be a chunk more than the trademe items though.

possibly Rarespares? Check the auzzie site, but all NZ orders get dealt with in Christchurch when placed in Auzzie

Rare spares are dear spares.

I bought mine off that guy selling them on trademe, took forever for them to arrive because the guy was ordering them from Thailand and then selling them here, they do look good though. I think Brendan (mint16) gets them
from the same place, so try him first.

Scotts Old Auto Rubber, Basis in Renwick stock their stuff.

Before I purchased mine, I was warned off the Thailand stuff. I think it was all discussed in my old thread.

Not saying the Thai stuff is shit as I have no experience otherwise. Just second hand info.
Was warned of Rare spares too because their windscreen rubbers cracked after a couple years of something.
First hand though I can tell you Datsport stuff looks like good quality and they were awesome to deal with.

apparently spectrum rubber in aussie make scotts/rarespares etc rubbers, you could try them and cut out the middleman. Prob get a lot cheaper for the same thing (especially rarespares quoted me $400 for a 1200 coupe front quarter window rubber that spectrum was selling for $160!!!). I imported a couple of thai rubbers to check the quality. Front screen rubber wasn't tooooo bad but the boot seal rubber was rubbish. And that guy on trademe even uses the same photo's as those used on ebay for the thai rubbers but are just double the price so again, cut out the middleman and go straight to http://www.ebay.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and buy from there. For a 1600 i have also heard datsport and stewert wilkins motorsport are the place to buy??
