    If it's in good shape and originally Black then I don't know that it was a terrible purchase . . . Well as long as you need one!

    whats the underside look like.. not warped or hinge mount area torn up and latch mount good?.. if yes id say pretty good for a black one especially if you need it.... I have a repro gray one in my 85 and it looks fine but its not as good as an OEM one and it was 50.00 with a discount coupon .. roy

    $50 seems fine to me. My last drunken acquisition now involves 20 years of marriage, 3 kids, and cost me a hell of a lot more than fifty bucks, so I'd say you are way ahead of me.

    Not a steal by any means but you did not overpay either. It's probably worth that.

    Beer and keyboards donot mix well at all. Usually the outcome is bad but in your case not to bad. Maybe the problem is what I drink when I shop online.

    Thanks for the reassurance lol. It had been up for only about 40 minutes. Didn't know they're reproducing them until after I bought it haha. It's an oem piece so can't go wrong really...
