Pros: Look fantastic when new but that sure don't last long!
Cons: Pitted in 4 months! Getting worse everytime I look at them.

I purchased these for my 66 Impala from Classic Industries. They look like a million dollars when you take them out of the box, quality of finish and the parts are excellent however, after a very short time on my car (4 months to be exact) they started to pit. They continue to pit more and more and soon will look just about the same as my 39 year old originals did when I removed them. I'm giving these a 2 instead of a 1 rating only because they look so good when new. Maybe I should have just kept them in the box? My advice, if you just need to make a car look good for selling purposes, they will be perfect. If you plan on keeping the car, (for more than a few months at least) don't waste your money!

Pros: They look great when new
Cons: Finish doesn't last long. Time consuming to replace.

Ditto what Bob said. I'm very disappointed with mine also. Their very pitted after only two years. Cars kept under cover in garage in southern belt area.
