Sorry to hijack this post, but at Nats everyone had Taiwan repops. Wild variance in pricing throughout.......from $175 to $325 howevere when you looked they were from Taiwan. There was one vendor I saw who had made in USA, but I cannot say they were any "if at all" better. Just made in the USA.

the repops vary in size/length from the originals. The wheel well opening trim was a little long as well. I ended up using my old rears and the repro fronts.

On Monday will be shipping a set of wheel moldings back to Metro that don't fit. This is the 4th set I've ordered in 4 or 5 years. Each year they say they tweak the dies to make them better, but none have fit yet. At least they're getting so they pay the return shipping.

Have 3 marginally restorable original moldings that I may have to use, but the LF molding looks like a tire blew out & got it. Anyone have a decent used LF molding? Meanwhile it goes without them, but still wins a lot of trophies.

Metro's body side moldings fit ok after I sent back the second set I purchased with detailed notes as to what they needed to change to make them fit. Their side moldings are priced higher than anyone elses, however. Good luck, 69 GTX trim has been my biggest headache.
