'62 Catalina Bonneville GP and Star Chief deck lid stainless trim...
 

If you own a non-Safari '62, you know that the stainless trim on the trunk lid is vulnerable and finding a one in excellent shape is TOUGH.

Well, I am considering reproducing this part. Ten years ago I paid $175 for really nice used example.

Coupla of questions for you:

1) Even if the deck lid trim is nice on your car now, would you buy a mint spare, 'just in case'?

2) What would you be willing to spend on one, knowing that it is restoration-worthy and not needing hours of polishing (like all the used ones out there)?

I'll appreciate your feedback very much!!

here is the part for visual reference...
