A bargain when compared to a similar set at 695,  with an intstallment plan no less...me thinks his ass is out a mile here

Perfect. This just made my decision to get the euro rear bumper with the license plate lights in them.  In fact the new rear bumper is cheaper than just those light covers!

I've got a "vintage" or "classic" set that came with my car, i'll sell them for half that and add an ebay neon bar...

One “fell off” my car when it was transported from Colorado to Virginia- another one “fell off” when my car was at the shop.  

 

Just think if these didn’t get run over or stolen along the way there are at least two +$500 parts just laying on the ground out there.  

 

Real treasures. Until someone decides to produce them again.  Back to sub $20.00?

If my wife sees those prices she'll make me sell the new ones i squirreled away several years ago.

 

Wish I woulda bought the grilles that time.

[Schnellvintage]

At those prices, I will have to reduce my insurance deductible and raise my agreed value...ugh.  LOL

[markmac]

Not sure why folks see that as soooo surprising really, look at the cost of all the trim pieces and especially grilles (for 16oo's and o2's) .....and I can think of one or two on this board (not sure who though....???) that would nearly give up an organ for some of the NOS embossed 16oo belt line trim....?

Haha, yeah …..no.

 

I'm going full hog on a billet injection mold for these, so figure a million-billion of them will be produced.  Up front cost is high, but price per piece isn't bad.  Going out on a limb in hoping more than a couple people want them.

How are you going to reproduce the shiny inside surfaces?  The tool for vacuum vapor deposition is multiple times more than the injection mold itself.
