Best bet is to find originals and send off for repair/polish and anodizing
if u are not happy with AMD - not much else worth anything.
there are subtle differences between repro and 70 only originals. And the differences though small are noticeable.
If you are looking for exact details then fixed up originals are the best choice - even though its expensive to go this route.
My 2 cents.

Got me a NEW Project 1970 GTX 440+6, 4 spd, 4.10 Dana and N96 FE5 (top/bottom) and black bucket interior. Original transmission and Dana - Engine is a service replacement block.
Body has all stamped #s + VIN/TRIM tag and door sticker. Been hunting like all hell to find the Build Sheet.
garage find, only had 41,850 miles on ODO.

I agree that NOS or restored originals would probably be the best bet but I am in a bit of a time crunch.
I see that PG Classics sells a set which looks to be of different origin than the ones that I purchased.
Does anyone have any experience with the PG Classics trim?
Thanks!
Stan Your best bet is the call the suppliers/vendors and see who's selling what mfg (as there were 3 mfg's making these at one time) contact YO, OER, PG Classics, Dales Cuda Shop, etc, you may end up buying 2 or more different mfg's components plus determine what mfg's components you have to avoid repeat purchases to get the set or desired fitting your trying to achieve

I bought a set of Metro '70 Challenger rear trim years ago I thought was pretty decent. I recall Metro had a fire and disappeared after that. Did anyone end up with their tooling? I had a used set restored for my T/A and it came out beautiful.

I had a used set restored for my T/A and it came out beautiful. Same here, I bought the Metro pieces, fit was very nice, and yes Metro had a fire that destroyed their shop/tooling, they did however get back up and running over the years and made some nice repro components, unfortunately the "Mopar" resto market wasn't profitable for them, so they sold off the tooling, went back to making skateboards and their components Dave at Roseville moparts. com purchased some of the components/tooling rights and offers some of the Metro line, so the OP might consider Roseville as a possible contact Mike

I think this is what you are looking for. You might be right! I have another reproduction set coming from another vendor right now. We will see how well they fit. Stan
