At $310 plus shipping.... ouch!!! Somebody here give a REPU newbie and idea of what price range to expect to pay on hoods, fenders, emblems, and grills.
The only ones I have seen so far is the NOS emblem and valance. Since those are NOS I expect they were significantly higher than if they were just real nice used ones?
I have a great source to get a quote for making injection molds from CAD or actual parts. What do you guys think real good knock-offs of the emblems would be worth?

'Real nice used'
could be the hardest to find of all... unless you stumble into a 'find' of a real nice used and fairly complete REPU... Thing is, most 'real nice' is coveted and not for sale... but prices can range and vary all across the board. All depends who knows what, or not... and who cares about what--or not.
Far as this valance goes, I sure hope katsuyuki gets what he pays for... I can't imagine there'd be much recourse from all the way over the Pacific if there were any issues... with all the stuff he's been buying, I wonder if and when he'll speak up around here?

Right now the good parts I do have will be saved in case I need them for molds but after that I will sell them. I would not classify anything about this truck as real nice but I think I can restore the grill badge so it looks near new and the fender, hood, and valance have to be super straight and smooth before they could be used in molds.
I hope like hell someone beats me to that task though.
Here is what the badge looks like

New Old Stock
A new part that was never installed and is no longer available from the factory. In some cases rare and very expensive.
