The '67 taillight trim is relatively complex. About 10 years ago I was looking at a repop when the vendor stated that he wasn't happy with the quality. Now he carries a better product at greater cost. Originals are best but to find one and get the pits fixed and replated is not a cheap undertaking. The taillight stuff is metal (potmetal?) while the horizontal trim across the rear is anodized aluminum.

I bought all that stuff not too long ago. The finish is very nice but I can't say anything about the fit...it's still sitting in the boxes for now. Got mine from Year One.

Dont too mad, most of the repop stuff, especially that kind of stuff, does not fit well. That is how it is. Some are better than others, and it is getting better, but not perfect.

I bought a set for my 67ss and they were fine. Couldn't tell the difference. They were expensive but you get what you pay for.
