I can't believe Honest Charlie's raised they're price by $1,000.00 in the last year. The El Camino store sells the Lauren products, I guess they'll sell any they have left. I looked at OPGIs, the listing said both headlight buckets and bezels in 2 different sentences are included I emailed them to ask who makes it.

It’s supply and demand. We are down to just a couple of manufacturers supporting G bodies. With little or no competition and somewhat low demand as compared to more popular models I expect prices will continue to rise. I may have it wrong but I thought Honest Charlie bought the Choo choo stuff and this is different from the Lauren stuff they were selling last year?

The OPGI stuff looks different than the Lauren stuff to me. All the Lauren stuff I seen came in black primer and the OPGI looks like it’s white. Also looked to me like some of the headlight stuff that bolts into the OPGI unit was formed into the Lauren stuff. Might just be the catalog cuts they used or maybe an earlier/later version?

I made a order yesterday of parts I needed from Lauren engineering. Maybe my purchase and others will keep the door open for a longer time.

Bad news. OPGI just texted me back. Lauren makes the SS nose that they sell
That sucks....did they have any of them left in stock? Craig told me on the phone the other day they had 3 of them that had shipped and were in route. Call hm at X 304 and see if you can get one of them.....looks like it may be the last chance to get one.

My ground effects and scoop from Lauren came white as did my Monte parts many years ago.
