If I want to buy a "replacement" that looks like original but not NOS, where do I go and how much will it cost? If it isn't going to be "NOS" or the original one it has now, and it's $350 or greater for a replacement, why not go $550 for aluminum? And if I go aluminum, who makes the best "direct bolt-in-swap-out" one? Thanks! You guys always deliver!!! 68 Roadrunner, 383,4-spd 71 Superbee, Citron Yella, 383,slapstick 71 Charger 500, Autumn Bronze, 383,4-spd, A/C 72 Imperial, 2-dr hdtp 74 Charger SE, 440-auto, sunroof 84 Crew Cab Dually, 440-auto 01 Quad Cab Dually, HO Cummins;6-spd 08 H-D, Softail Custom 08 Challenger, 6.1 Hemi
