    picked up one here and one from ebay both in good condition
    but driver good quality with the usual low pits

    went to a nearby place down the street from me with the worse one .

    they are not cheap ...but if your concour$e/$how or $uper picky
    this is the place for you

    the molding came out way better than new could ever be
    as a matter of fact its going to be the sweetest thing on my car :grin:

    I also got a quote to do the bezels ...but the price was super high
    (almost 5 bills each) but after seeing what they did to the molding
    and their Modus Operandi I understood the crazy price ...but we can
    live with NOS ones


    they just recently started doing bumpers ....very very high quality work here
    but they start at about $1400 and up ...they were showing me one from a 1960's Pontiac that was being done for $2400...very meticulous people there and friendly

    if you are picky with quality and have $ this is the place for ya





    pictures dont to justice here ....

    underside ....cost $380... so I stop boozing and eating meat for a month
    lifetime warranty on work done

    and they get the painted area nice and smooth/saten rough ready for prime
    and paint and backside argent primer ..

    On the molding, it looks excellent but make sure to test fit it to hood (just push it into place) before you paint anything...trust me, I learned the hard way...all that polishing and buffing can warp things (although looks like they do superior workmanship).

    You are lucky, mine does not fit right and still need to redo one..figure I'll wait until the thing takes a few rocks chips then will swap it out. Might as well get something out of all that money...only issue will be matching paint.
