dselko Aug 8th, 00, 6:58 PM Has anyone used one of the repro tail lamp bezels before? I saw a pair on ebay last week (they sold for over $275). The guy selling them said the repros don't fit right and look like hell. I think all of the parts suppliers resell the same item. Thanks, David Dean Aug 8th, 00, 11:28 PM I got a pair of them for Christmas I can't see anything wrong about them, they look as good as originals to me. ------------------ Dean Call Team Gold member #3 A.C.E.S. # 00235 Mid America Chevelle Club (http://macc.chevelles.net) #001 chevelles.net (http://chevelles.net) My 69 (http://chevelles.com/showroom/deans69.jpg) It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.

No problems. ------------------ von '69 300 Dlx SS TC #15 ACES #1575 micky69396 Aug 9th, 00, 5:58 AM The only problem I have seen with these are minor, we have had one set with bad chrome that was sent back, the other the paint flaked off after a year, and we just repainted them. Fit was fine, finish is better than GM's was, just put a NOS set on the COPO we are doing, talk about ruff. ------------------ Micky Hale Restorations 69 L-89 Chevelle 68 Biscayne 427/425 34 Plymouth Drag Car ACES #134 BlueBowTie Aug 9th, 00, 8:54 AM I replaced mine last summer with a repro set made in Taiwan. Look good. Fit OK. There seemed to be a larger gap at the top between the bezel and the housing than with the originals. No noticeable water leakage so far and chrome is holding up well. ------------------ 69 Malibu Sport Coupe Old photo (http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=115405&a=2159663&p=18683297&Sequence=0) New photo (http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=115405&a=2159663&p=22658853&Sequence=0) [This message has been edited by BlueBowTie (edited 08-09-2000).] Bill Pritchard Aug 11th, 00, 1:54 PM Glad to hear many people speak well of the reproductions, as I may be in the market in the near future. You don't think the ebay seller would badmouth the repros just to try and drive up the bid price on his NOS pair, do you?? http://www.chevelles.com/forum/rolleyes.gif ------------------ Bill Pritchard 69 SS396 Convertible "There's never enough time to do the job properly, but always enough time to do it over."
