MC-71 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 My question is what’s up and down on the installation of these Part Place hockey sticks? The number one picture is flat and number two has a bezel. The bezel side matches the bottom of the center molding which would make the flat side the top. Let me know how you installed them or just give me thoughts of the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I think the beveled edges will match the chrome strip across the back. But you know you’re going to have to drill new holes to put them on the taillight extensions. Aftermarket pegs do not match oe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Yes Dennis I’m very aware of the studs in the wrong place. Just don’t understand why they can’t get a simple thing like reading a ruler and putting them in the correct place. Do your original ones have a flat side that will look up like the repops? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Do you really think they can read a tape measure? You're giving them way too much credit. They really need some hands on engineers. They should hire us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need some hands on engineers. They should hire us! You should have seen some of the young engineers we had when I worked in the chemical industry (DuPont). I got yelled at because I called the trailer they were located in a 'daycare center for engineers' (among a couple of other things I said). Downright dangerous, some of the stuff they tried to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It likely won’t be cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Bad454 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Post the cost when you find out. I'm curious to see what they charge these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Whatever shop you take th3m to, be sure to tell them to NOT chrome the back side because that will drastically alter the fit. I found this out on the back corner roof trim. The shop that did mine chromed the back side and they became useless. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mon-tss Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Probably be spring before I do anything with them. I will post if I find out. Good news is they aren't very big; Gonna need some front bumper guards done too tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
