Need very Nice Anodized Aluminum 64-66 Headlight Trims

I'm looking for a pair of original anodized aluminum headlight trim rings in very good condition. They need to be straight with a good shine. I can't use them if the anodizing is milked up. I have a really nice grill but my headlight trims are dinged up pretty bad. Willing to pay a fair price.

I'll post a pic of my grill to show it's condition and hope someone has a matching set of headlight bezels!

Have you considered just having the rings re-anodized in clear? And the grill as well if needed. Thats my plan for mine once i work the dents out.

Good idea as those rings are pretty tough to come by.

I agree. If they aren't in too bad of shape, I would strip the anodizing, polish them and either have them clear anodized again, or use one of the aftermarket protectants for polished aluminum.

The rings are in pretty bad shape. They're dented, warped, and smashed in on one of the edges. Just thought I'd post to see if anybody had a good pair. Even if I did have to get a pair reanodized, I'd need better ones to start with.

Here's a bad shot of the grill, I'll try to get a better one.

Post up some pics of the rings. Once stripped they can be sanded and polished. As long as they dont have pitting all the way through.
