Title: Small chrome strips that run from taillight down to bumper Post by: ACT59FC on June 09, 2018, 11:23:09 PM Hi, I would like to ask your advice on obtaining a pair of the chrome strips that run down from the rear tail lights to the bumper on the FC special sedans.
1. how much are these things worth (a) in good condition and (b) if they need work and require rechroming etc. Old Mable didn't come with these on her and its the only chrome she is missing. I wanted to get an idea of what they are worth before posting in parts wanted.
