Has anyone used the reproduction tail light bezels for a 70 challenger. I'm trying to decide between replacing with reproduction vs restoring the originals and I'm curious if anyone has used these and how the fit/quality was. It seems there is only one manufacturer making these and they are the same at the various shops.

I used (6) six complete sets from PG Classics so far, I think they look great  :twothumbsup:

I've only used the repop lenses with my rechromed bezels and don't remember having any fitment issues.

I have repop ones. Bought them about 6 years ago. Terrible fit, both at the seams (tongue/groove?) where they connect across, and, the stud holes are not fully perpendicular to the taillight body panel and the studs hot the panel as the unit is installed.

I went though 4 sets of repop bezels at the place I purchased them to find ones that had decent chroming (without major waves and dimples).

Maybe the quality control is much better now ??

but for the price I should have went for rechroming of original bezels (which I would guess now could be close to, or more than $1000 with a top shop)

I installed a set a few years ago. I don't recall anything jumping out at me as far as fit and finish goes. I'm sure they weren't perfect because nothing is but they looked really nice to me.
