Disappointed with plastic parts durabilitylll

I’m mostly just writing to bitch a little…I am so frustrated that with what few OEM interior are available are of just such shitty quality and ridiculous cost…I have a lot of OEM interior parts that I bought years ago only to find the majority of them have broken mounting tabs and attachment point….what gives? I guess the plastic gets brittle but when you pay this much you would think the quality would be higher…what have you guys done to fix this problem if it’s even resolvable…guess I gotta learn to plastic weld….

can always do what my good friend Gordon did. Have the plastics copper plated. We then painted them wrinkle black. No more plastic. All metal interior pieces.

No idea of cost. I believe the guy that plates the Grammy awards did this for him

3d printing will be our friend in the near future.

Metal, superior resins or even composites.
