Repro Turn signal lens fit?

[Elombard]

I am sure there are threads on this but a search is not turning them up?

I have a random repro lens that fits terrible. I see offernings from several places. Which ones are a decent fit? I assume the ones that TRE sells fit well?

Thanks

I'm attaching a link to our catalog for your 84' - we have a turn signal lens that should work. TRE is also a trusted source.

Sorry should have mentioned

the 84 is back dated so I need long hood lenses

I saw your offerings and I am wondering how the fit is. I have one repro and the fit is terrible, I bought it used a couple of years ago.

The one that we have is a Porsche genuine part, so the fit should be spot on (you'd hope )

I have not found that to always be the case, and hoping did nothing to help....... but in the case of the lenses I believe the ones you'll get from Porsche via Pelican, although not Genuine Bosch, do seem to fit well.

Yeah I know the OEM fit well I was hoping to save a few hundred and go with repros.

BTW Johnny that fit on the TS/grill/bumper/trim is fantastic. I really have an appreciation for how much work it takes to make everything fit that well. I wish I had the patience. Just beautiful
