70 Challenger Taillight Bezels and Lenses
Fellow Members,
I'm certain that this topic has been discussed previously, but I can't seem to find the right postings that pertain my my query. I am looking to replace my taillight bezels (pitted) and lenses (warped) and have found only a couple of options for aftermarket ones.
Regarding Bezels: In a older thread I read of a guy by the name of David Seward in Florida who manufactures these, but can't seem to find how to buy them or learn of the quality. I know PG Classic ($425) and Year One ($655) sell them, but that's about it. Also, I'm confused about the correct finish on these. Both of the previously mentioned suppliers sell these chrome with black paint around the edges. My old, pitted bezels (don't know if original or not) are ALL chrome, no black paint anywhere. Were the bezels produced in two versions? Did the base Challengers have all chrome and the R/Ts and T/As have bezels outlined with black paint? Does anyone know who makes/offers (or where can I get) the best quality bezels without braeaking the bank?
Regarding Lenses: I believe mine are original, but they are quite warped. I know these are available also from Year One ($420) and Mopars by Crane ($315) and possibly others. Both sell as 3 piece set including back-up lense w/letters. Has anyone had experiences with either of these parts from these sellers? Is one set any better than the other? Is Year One's prices higher because theirs are better repops or are they selling the same ones as Mopars by Crane, but with a considerably higher mark-up?
Your help with this is much appreciated. Thanks
