    I saw these a week or so ago. I am curious. I guess you're the first brave soul to take the leap!

    I do this a lot. It’s the only way to find out.

    Hi Brian,

    Did you receive the H/L bezels? I'm curious what your thought are regarding quality compared to factory parts.

    Thanks, in advance,

    Matt

    Sorry for not responding sooner. These are pretty cool for what they are. The very first thing that I noticed was the weight. These are less than half of what the originals weigh. The chrome is very bright and very shiny. How long will it last remains to be found. We shall see. The center divider has a slightly softer peak,but still a definitive line. The also have two very light impressions. I tried to point them out with my fingers,as they are difficult to see in the picture,but are more noticeable in-person. Would I use them on a concours resto,probably not,but these are a nice piece and I would buy them again. However,there is one more test to give feedback for: Fit. I need to get these mocked up on a car and see how they fit and how they flow with the grilles and grille support.

    Hi Brian,

    I'm curious if you have had a chance to see if the bezels fit well or not.

    Thanks, Matt
