Anyone had satisfactory results with the new 69 repro bezels....I will be paying TWO HUNDRED dollars to have my mint faded originals redone and was hoping if anyone likes the look/fit of the new ones (for 150).Thanks all-Shawn

Two hundred is way much for stripping, polishing and factory style anodizing.
And I do not like repops.
I had a factory '67 SS grill restored- strip, polish,fac style anodize and both h/l bezels and vinyl top trim done for under 300 bucks.
The pieces turned out looking as good as nos as I have 2 pairs of GM NOS '67 h/l bezels to compare the parts to.
1 pair in the gm box the other in the gm cardboard wrapper but both NOS.
This was '67 stuff but should be close in price to '69 pieces.
Check hemmings I've seen '69 nos h/l bezels for under 200 bucks/pair.

I dont think $50 ea. is too bad of a price when you think about it. What would a NOS one be worth and usually need painted when you find them? I would redo them unless the repops were just dead on. my 2 cents

Thanks guys, hey Brett, do you recall who did your stuff ? I was quoted 200 bones (minimum order btw)by a highend S0-Cal shop.Thanks again-Shawn...I may try polishing them myself and see what happens before I go the redip route
