It would likely be Sunday before I can lay eyes on them, but as soon as I do I'll upload some pictures :takepicture:

A while ago I picked up a used reproduction that had some light damage to it. Overall I would say it's pretty good but like so many reproduction parts you can tell the difference when compared side by side with an original. To me the finish on the repro looks a little different, like it's vacuum-chrome plated compared to the original anodized aluminum. Not a big deal given that it's a part that is not all that visible once installed but, say you were restoring a Challenger with otherwise all original or NOS moldings you might notice it more.

Tim, here are some pics of the two sets with a close up of the two worst areas. When I bought these, no reproductions existed so I though the condition passable.

Thanks to all that replied, I found a set that looks pretty good.
