    The ones I have on my car will be sent out to be re-anodized and pounded back into shape. Without seeing them I got an estimate from the guy at $450. But I  would still rather have the original parts on the car.

      I'd like to eventually have my original headlight bezels redone as well but i have doubts as to how repairable they are. I'd like to have my grille restored at the same time. A fair bit of coinage but at least they'd all be the original pieces.

    I talk with the guy at http://www.anobrite.com/ And told him the condition of my bezels. It looks as if somebody took a hammer to them and he said right around $450.00 to reshape and re- anodize them. I know its a lot of cash but I would much rather have the original item.

     Yip mine are in similar shape...where your driver side bezel is mangled, mine is completely flat; not too surprising considering what they're made of. Thanks for the recommendation...another choice is http://www.alltrim.com/.
      Also instead of repro Wheel Opening moldings i purchased an original set off ebay. Original when possible, y'know...man, i hope i don't start to get too caught up with originality, lol. (tongue planted firmly in cheek)

    I still have a set of NOS wheel well trim for a Challenger, mine didn't need them. Wonder what NOS is worth now compared to repro.

    You wouldn't believe it. I've seen them shoot past $500 on E-Bay.

    Good grief!. To be honest I think I bought these back in about 1987 for $124 at my dealer price.  There's gold in the basement, I guess I'll have to see what the dollar does in the future and maybe liquidate some assets.
