These were reportedly removed from an authentic convertible Shelby during restoration. I'm looking for opinions on their originality. They appear to have been repaired previously, regardless of the seller's claim.

Look real but either heavily media blasted or baked in the sun for a long time

I agree looks like one original and one that is a reproduction or one so heavily repaired its the equivalent of a reproduction. The person that stripped these did a poor job.

I'm looking for 9F02M480004. Have you seen it?

One definitely has a bad repair, that's for sure. Thanks for all the help gentlemen.
