Where did you buy the repops? How much are they? I've always wondered about this rare part. If I had one, I'd have it scanned into a 3D printer and kick them out by the dozens. Slap some paint on them and 99% of the people wouldn't know the difference or care. Only the people who are having their cars judged would need an original piece.
I personally believe they are ugly as sin and everyone took them off. That's why they are so "rare".
