Reproduction exterior door handles any good?

[Old B5]

Are the exterior door handle repops any good? I know they look good, but would i be better off finding a good used set?

They are ok in quality, the originals were only ok too; I used to have several broken ones that I saved for parts, the metal seemed cheap. From what I have read, early Cuda handles were slightly convex and the Challengers were slightly concave. The replacements, even from Mopar, are kind of in between so they could be used for both.

The finish on my repops is wearing off very quickly with minimal use. The chrome is fine though

The repros are equal or better than the originals. Driver side handles have broken regularly since the cars were new. There were different door handle contours on the 70-71 but were combined to one style for cost reasons. The Challenger are different as stated in the above post. The outer side is curved to match the door skin contour. They are generally about $50-$ 75 average each. Don't pay much more as there are only about 2 different manufacturers of these regardless of who sells them. If you are going to use the car as a daily driver, pick up an extra driver handle.

I have used them on my 70 challenger looked and functioned just fine.
