Are these any good? I think for a side strike they might help but I worry they might not prevent a top strike from breaking a plastic. Anyone on the forum use these in a restore? Worth it?

Also, is this dealer reputable? Content seems outdated.
Quoted from Richthofen:Are these any good? I think for a side strike they might help but I worry they might not prevent a top strike from breaking a plastic.
The plastic over the middle drop target bank on Taxi is very susceptible to breakage. Only one attaching point. If it's not cracked or broken yet, by all means get a protector at least for that plastic.
Don't have mine any more, but it seems like I used at least one fender washer attaching the plastic and protector.
I have them on my shadow. No broken plastics yet. Not to say I would if I didn't have the protectors tho.
They should help with drops from the top also since the plastics are supported from the bottom and the edge on the protectors usually sticks out a bit from the plastic. I put them on every game I own.
