I bought new vent window frames for the Stang I'm restoring. I thought I would be saving money (looked good on paper) by buying these over having the originals re-chromed. The repos are about 1/8 in narrow over the originals pluse some of the screw holes don't line up. I paid $149/each + shipping for these "cheap" knock-offs.
To have mine re-chromed was quoted about $300 - $400 each. Why so high? So, one day I might just jerk them out and bite the bullet and have mine rechromed.
Buyer beware! You can never replace original with reproduction and expect good quality... Just my 2 pennies...
