Re: Suburban tail lenses

Got my new Counterpart/GM Restoration part repops and compared them to an NOS lens. First, I have to say these are some clean lenses. I mean really super clean. In fact, they are noticeably cleaner and glossier than the NOS lens. This may not be a good thing however, depending upon what they look like when in use, especially at night.
You can see in the pics the repop lens appears a bit clearer (hence darker) than the NOS one. I suspect the slightly "frosty" original may illuminate more evenly after dark.
Other than this one difference, the new lenses are perfect in every detail and look as good or better than the originals.
