Assuming that is just the metal? (no cushions) I was told by a couple people, even NOS may look like crap against fresh re-chrome. Will never be a show car, so not too concerned about that. I figure a really nice used set will be OK and if not ( at least if they are solid inside) I always have the re-chrome option. Figure if I get a nice set -take the rubbers off and never seize the hardware. Then if I decide to rechrome down the road they will still come apart without damage
