Yeah, it's good that there's another place to get them, you would think for almost 1000.00 they would include the mounting hardware.I bet it's made by PG Classic. Pretty pricey.

I haven't bought anything from Laysons yet. But I've heard they're quality is good.I can't remembr but aren't 68 the trim that top and bottom have almost identical profiles?
Lol yeah no hardware...wth
I just bought a wiper motor from rock auto, I hope it's ok. I have to check my old one to make sure they're the same.I haven't bought anything from Laysons yet. But I've heard they're quality is good.

What's the prices of you don't mind me askingI bought them from Laysons with the clips. They are nice and are very presentable, I wasn't happy with the profiles not matching the tail lights as perfect as I would want for the money . They are not forgiving, so don't expect them to pull in tight if your trunk edges are not perfect . I sold them to a member here (for a lot less) and got a restored set from Tony's. The top pic is Laysons the bottom pic is Tony's restored .

That would be something wouldn't it, make it out of 3D plastic, have it plated or painted and sell it cheap.I wonder if one of the new ----- printers could make these out of plastic, seems do able, and could be done on a need to basis , cheaply .
I have never seen "but one " pic of the trims lining up w/ the tail light perfectly. It was on a race car I think, and the guy massaged the lower one by splitting it and re welding it back together, "if I remember right !"
Laysons was about $850 (minor blemish)Tony $795What's the prices of you don't mind me asking
So they're all around the same price, just different quality. I guess if Tony's was OEM, they would be the best for the money.Laysons was about $850 (minor blemish)Tony $795
They have to be better than the ones I have that's for sure.The stainless are shinier and match the tail light housing chrome better. I started with a perfect trunk lid so they fit tight to the flange. The stainless pieces are thick and not forgiving, so don't expect the clips to pull them in tight if there are gaps.
By the time you hire someone to design it, print test pieces, tweak the design, print more test pieces, finally production print it, polish it, and finally paint/plate it, it's going to be very expensive also. Parts coming out of a 3D printer normally have very bad surface finish and will require hours of sanding & polishing before they will look acceptable. Plus you need to find a plastic that is weatherproof. Not every printer can print those materials either. Plus this is a fairly large part. Not too many 3D printers can handle parts that big.That would be something wouldn't it, make it out of 3D plastic, have it plated or painted and sell it cheap.
