ECS Cuda door glass is BETTER than OEM. I know, I have both. The ECS glass is smoother and has less tempering signs than the original glass on the other side. NOT CRAP.



Great comparison

I ran across the same thing on a 74 Challenger I bought used in 1977 just before joining Chrysler. Along the way when it was a driver it got it's nose bruised by the wife and needed a front bumper. This is around 1979 and the bumper is NS1 - no longer serviced by Chrysler, no depot stock but one of my dealers had one in stock and was more than glad to sell it since it had been on the shelf for a while. Fast forward through the years of storage at the parents house to the restoration. Back bumper gets chromed and when I laid out the NOS front bumper it was night and day. New chrome was almost too good. The NOS not nearly as nice and had an area that looked like someone had thrown a handfull of shavings in the chrome - rough to the touch and the cleaning rag always caught on the area no matter how much polish was on the bumper.

The moral to this story is sometimes the NOS parts are not those show quality parts we hope for today. They were just "production" pieces back then. We've all got our individual stories with NOS pieces.
