    I appreciate the effort that CMC put forth to get this part out to us 69 owners. However, for $85, I would expect something that was 'quality'. I purchased one for evaluation and was disappointed at the workmanship..

    1. Clear lens was cracked, not completely glued to the white base (only half of it was glued), air bubbles in the clear.
    2. White section was paper thin, rough edges.
    3. Light holes were poorly cut. I would be afraid to attach and 'lock' a light socket in the holes- as they would break.

    Maybe if it was $25-$40... But, for $85...

    Buyer beware.

    Is CMC the Ebay arm of The Parts Place?

    I think it might be! I was thinking the same thing. I don't think that place could afford, or would take the time to manufacture a part. Their FB on Ebay is poor just like TPP + that joparts that is always selling rare or repro parts on ebay. I think they are all the same. Maybe CMC + joparts are testing grounds for TPP, or if the quality is poor they try them there.

    I believe TPP has a different Ebay store than these guys.

    Chicago muscle car parts is located in Island Lake, Illinois. TPP is in DeKalb, Illinois. I have been to both and they do not seem to be affiliated at all.
