VS29,

The reproductions are quite nice but I put one in a friends car and had some trouble getting all the holes to align for a good fit. It worked out in the end but not a simple screw in deal. The chrome on originals is vacuum metalized, reproductions are hard chromed (like a bumper) if you have them side by side you can tell them from originals, something to consider depending on how much small details count to you.

If you go with original the source I used and would reccomend is www.gcartrim.com. He did mine and it came out spectacular. If you look at the cost of a restoration vs reproductions you will find that the spread isn't that much if yours is in decent shape to start with. He bought some of CV Platers equipment and was trained by the owner years ago, he's VERY good at gauge and bezel restoration.
