Repop chrome parts-opinion
 
Just wondering what people think of the repopped door handles, exterior mirrors, etc that are out there? Junk? Nice?

Need some inner and outer door handles and an exterior mirror for my 1969 Biscayneand not sure if they're junk or not.

Also, is OER stuff better than say, Goodmark? Or do they source these parts from the same manufacturer?


Thanks

They are nice,but if you have a car that originally came with the fatter door handles,you're better off having them rechromed.
Haven't found anyone reopping those.....................yet.

Thanks guys. NOS would be nice, but money, as it probably will always be, is an issue.

Any ideas on how much to rechrome them?

I had some done here locally for $15 each 2 years ago.

I think it depends on the level of restoration you are tring to achieve and how much you are going to use the car. If you are going for an all original show judged car then NOS to original restored is the way to go. But, if you are building a driver for the local cruise night, then repro will work perfectly.

hey Rick, I will give you $30.00 a set. Trim Parts are pretty good and fit. 80% of the people would never know repop, NOS whatever as long as they are shiny!
