Bases are perfect...no cracks anywhere. They DO need to be painted. I was planning on using the 'chrome' rattle can paint to give them that argent look. I bought these at the MOPAR Nats for my '66 Barracuda - wrong size. The arm rests are black and very nice. The screws from the arm rest to the bases are included. I don't have the base to door screws. I'll try to clean out my PM box (once I find it) - I'm new at this. :)
