That price is a steal. The quality is VERY HIGH. The curvature and cut on them is perfect. I understand if money is tight, but this is one of those cases where the extra $$ is very well spent.

$65 just for the plastic Inserts ?! I guess I'll be getting used ones
It's worth it, I'm pretty sure I got mine from there, and I ended up with a set that say 3.2 SE in the original font and everything. They come with the appropriate adhesive too... it's worth it if you want them to look appropriate.
Yes a full thumbs up for Fiero Sails. That's where I got my replacement sail panels. There are as close to factory as you could ask. Yes they seem a bit pricey; but, once you put them you will quickly forget what they cost and they will look great!
As for finding these used and out of the sail panel frame. Good luck with that, the originals become (or are) brittle and are nearly impossible to successfully remove without breaking them or damaging them. I tried and found it a hopeless task.
I've got a set of "Non perfect" 84 Glass ones I guess I'll be using. when it comes down to a choice of "eating" or having perfect sail panels.... easy choice.

the Glass I have. a friend asked me yesterday " why don't you just use 1/8" plexiglass, put in the oven, then lay it over the GLASS ones, then cut to size..... walla ! 2 - plexigass windows (in whatever color you want) , for about $5 a pair ! thats what I'm going to do . then all I have to do is go to one of the Vinyl decal shops & get them to make whatever lettering I want "Backwards", then paint the back Black .
