>> a) Are there black ones available?

>BLACK.
They are available in Black only.

>> b) What exactly are they made of?....plastic or rubber??
>Good question.
I'm sure they are made of a kind of plastic like all wheel well extenders
offered by Volkswagen. Total weight of the four lips are about 3 kg,
rubber made lips should be heavier.

>> c) How exactly do they attach?
>Good question.
It's German quality and they should fit. As I read Thomas Niksch's article
about 16" Vanagons, I don't believe that they would fit on there. 16" have
modified wheel wells. But Syncro and 2WD are equal.

>> d) Where can we see a picture/ read a description of them?
>http://www.vanagon.com/ (Click on 'Info', then 'Fender Lips'.)

>> e) How long do they tend to last?
>Hmmm.  Depends if you're Derek Drew, probably.

>> d) Has anyone done business with Zeidler successfully before?? >>
>Yup!  ('d' again?)
Should be answer by others than me.

Try to get the information out of the picture. They are very thin and
as I know the body cladding, the lips should fit. But I haven't seen
the lips in nature and someone should check. As an option, I may
keep the first set of lips and, if they will fit, add the additional
to the shipment later on.
