Well are they any good? I have a nice pair of originals but one of the studs is missing on one and one on the other looks like it will come off soon. Do they look like a close reproduction?------------------

I would venture to say, if they are produced by the same over seas company that makes the 65-66 parts, that they would be of the same poor quality. ------------------

Talked to Rick (NPD) and he said that the reproductions are no longer made. They must have really been crap like Alex said!

I bought a pair from Viginia Classic Mustang for my 68. Quality was good but they are about a 1/4 inch shorter then the originals.

?? too short doesn?t sound too go but I guess it?s also not that bad looking at it the other way! Meaning having some ratty ones.  [This message has been edited by 68 S-code GT (edited 02-05-2003).]
