Fellas -

Taillight bezels on my 68 RR are not in great shape. Looks like Layson's is having a sale for $219 a pair, which sounds mighty fine to me. However, they're not pot metal.

Wondering if anyone here has seen what's available from the aftermarket and has an opinion on correctness and value.

Thanks,

Scott

What about these for less than 30 bucks a piece more from B/E&A....look really nice/correct and I think they are metal (right Mike?) Top quality and a Moparts member/sponsor

Don't think you could get your originals re-done complete for that price.

Thanks, fellas. The B/E&A stuff looks nice. Will have to get a pair of 'em on order.

Scott,

These are Layson's bezels with my original lenses.

Thanks for the pic, Jim. Those look quite nice. Only thing I'm considering now is whether or not to get the Caswell plating kit; it's not cheap at $600 or so, but I've got plenty of stuff for my other cars that needs done, too.
