Re: Chrome
tough to say they all come from china as far as i know. mine came pre scratched from brothers for 100 bucks less. mind you i didn't know it was scratched. they don't fit the same but what does. some massaging will be necessary

Re: Chrome
I would like to know also. I have not seen a show quality repro yet. The best repro I have seen is a 10 footer. Any closer and I could see the imperfections.

Re: Chrome
