View Full Version : 1969 OER Kick panels Camarofan1969 Mar 5th, 08, 10:00 AM Has anybody used them? I bought a set from NPD that were not OER and sent them right back. They were really bad. I'm hoping OER are better. I want to replace mine because they have factory speaker holes in them and I do not have a radio in my car. Thanks! zdld17 Mar 5th, 08, 06:50 PM How about these, http://www.firewheelclassics.com/store/search_results.asp?SearchText=kick+panel&imageField.x=16&imageField.y=8 Ask for Patty, she would know if they are OER Camarofan1969 Mar 7th, 08, 09:09 AM The only reason I asked about the OER kick panels was I got a 20% off postcard in a mail this week from Classic industries. Since they own OER, I was going to order the panels from them. I was hoping someone could tell me if they were happy with OER panels before I ordered a set. 69TAPoser Mar 7th, 08, 09:54 AM I just installed a set and was happy with them: http://www.69taposer.citymax.com/i//1-26-08_004.jpg I did have to trim the vent opening down quite a bit with a utility knife. This was no big deal, but the retainer ring on the vent opening was WAY larger than the stock one. Once I trimmed them down, I was able to pop them in.

Ames Performance (Pontiac/Firebird parts supplier). Phil X33D80 Mar 8th, 08, 06:03 AM I installed OER from Classic Industries purchased about 2 or 3 years ago and they went on without any trimming and look good. As a general rule they aren't real easy to install and make sure you use a lot of sealant behind them. aaron9252 Mar 8th, 08, 10:01 AM what kind of sealant would you recommend? I will be installing some in a few weeks. 69TAPoser Mar 8th, 08, 11:06 AM I used 3M strip caulk: http://autobodystore.net/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/3m8578.jpg ....It is in thin strips, so I used many pieces that I wrapped around the outside of the vent opening on the kick panel. I built it up about 1/2" high and 1" wide. When I screwed down the panel, I could feel it crush the caulk, making a good seal. Phil BEECHFRONT Mar 8th, 08, 02:29 PM i purchased a set from BELAIRE BOB and i was happy with them, not sure of brand aaron9252 Mar 8th, 08, 02:40 PM great, thanks! I'll be buying that today. Camarofan1969 Mar 12th, 08, 08:59 AM Well, I ordered a set yesterday. I hope they are better then what I got from NPD. |
