Reproduction Reflector

Anyone buy the reproduction center rear reflector that is available from Auto Atlanta? I recall hearing that the red was off but not much else about it.

Any and all comments welcome.

Do a search for AA and you probably won't want to buy anything from them.

Somebody did a post about reflectors a few days ago...I did a search and it didn't come up.

I agree with James, I would rather loofah with a cheese grater than give $$ to George Hussay and AA.

I understand AA's reputation and even tried to business with them in my 914 days. But $170 versus "Porsche" NOS at $800 it is worth exploring, no?

If you are not concerned about it being factory or concours D Zug makes a fantastic composite reflector. I have one installed on my car and it looks nearly stock

My SC's nickname is "Measles" because of all the crappy paint repair a PO did. So NO, I'm not too worried about concours!

That looks like a terrific option. Thanks. By any chance can you post a picture so I can get a better idea how it looks?

No. If AA has it I doubt they are exclusive manufacturer. That means somebody else is also going to be selling it. Keep looking.

Many pictures of their reflector (both carbon and red composite) in this thread:

Looks like nice stuff, Hal. On your side of the big muddie as well. Didn't see a price.

Joe Bob, I met JuiceRSR a few years ago when he organized a group that got a private showing of Matt Drendle's collection. He is a really nice guy.

The website says $220 for either black or red.
