These have been available for at least 5 years, maybe longer. They look good but I was also wondering if anyone has tried them yet.

I saw those about two years ago while ordering the last few items for my interior and was cautioned against using them if they were going to be dyed. Too much flexing to expect the dye to last through.
Since I've got the sandlewood interior, I had to live with my cleaned up originals. At least they were in decent shape except for the area around the screw holes at each end.

well, you made me look;
I received a catalog last year(?) - catalog F28;
Page 37 DOES show these - how did I miss this.

The description says bright blue and black, but there is only one part number: FA173F
