i dont think anyone re-pops em yet, would probably be a good market to get into-MATT

The "eyebrows" pop up on e-bay from time to time.  I do not know who is responsible for manufacturing them.  E-bay is the only place I've seen them, but I am not actively looking for them.

Thanks Mike!  You Da' man!  Those suckers are hard to find...  I tried Charger Trim, Trunk Trim, Tailamp mouldings etc and on and on and on...  All I needed was "Tail"...  (So true idn't it?)  heh...

Whew. . Those are costly little pieces aren't they?  I had mine stipped and rechromed for $30.00 for the pair.

I've got a drawer full of these but the pegs are broken on most...  My re-chrome dude is a RIP OFF...  I'm looking for someone better now...

I just bought a set from Mopar999 (aka Firestone Collectibles). I must admit, they are really nice. I held them up to my originals, they are an exact match.
However, when I went to fit them on the car the right side did not fit right. The left side fit just like original. I think I may have gotten a bad one, perhaps it was bent or taken out of the mold too fast. He is exchanging the right one for a new one, maybe it will fit better. The seller is excellent, highly recommended. He's never had a problem in the past with complaints about fit until now.

Lastly, & not questioning anyone's statements, but where can you get these rechromed for $30 a pair? SHOW chrome??? I doubt it. When it comes to chrome, I believe you get what you pay for. I don't think you could paint these properly for $30, let alone have them rechromed. I thought his price of $119 was a bargain considering what show chrome is going for these days.
