    I'm going to buy new ones for my front bumper, and wonder if anyone has an opinion on NOS vs reproductions? I have repros on the rear bumper, and they seemed to be a poor fit to me. I see repros at CARS Inc, and NOS at The Buick Farm, with quite a big diff in price. Are NOS worth the premium you have to pay? I think the set of 4 pieces from CARS was about $24 total, while a single piece NOS from Buick Farm is $19.

    As I recall (it's been 3 yrs), I reused a couple of my originals and bought a couple of nicer used pieces from a board member.

    I used repros from Year One on my front and rear bumpers. They were a terrible fit. I had to cut the slots deeper and really work them in to make them fit.
