As stated, this is a (NEW) chrome plated top. These tops are being manufactured and this one is the chrome plated one. So the chrome is perfect. The pieces all have the pentastar and part number cast into the bottom and fit the console perfect. Just so you know, the large shifter piece is $365.00, the glove box door piece is another $185.00 and the ashtray sliding door is another $85.00. So these three parts alone cost $635.00. So in essence you are buying the console and ashtray area for what amounts to $65.00?? And the console has been cleaned and finished with a black dye making it look brand new. I think this is a pretty good deal for somebody who wants a complete console without going through all the work. I bought these and am not going to use the console. By the way, it would cost almost as much to have used pitted parts chrome plated and still have to worry about deep pits showing up. So I think these are a dead ringer for originals. I HOPE THIS CLEARS UP ANY CONFUSION.
