That's a really good deal, do you mind if I ask who sold them? I've been watching for awhile, and I'd drop $100 right now for a new pair.
Nawww, I don't mind at all. The seller was joecola19. I think he was just an individual selling stuff he didn't end up using. He had a pair of the '68 halo panels that I passed up since they pretty much require the bezels to look right, but the '70-72 ones look OK right out of the box (don't require the bezels that aren't being reproduced).

I got a pair of new reproductions for a late '68, unpainted, molded in black plastic. I'll need to put a couple more screw holes in them, but my interior is black, so I probably won't have to paint them. $42 shipped for the pair, from jfortec (Corvette Pacifica) on eBay. They have a pair in their store right now: Late 1968 Corvette Rear Roof Panel Pair unpainted EC138
I haven't installed them yet, so I can't comment on fit/finish, but they are sturdy and look nice. Hope this helps!
If I came across a pair of bezels for a fair price, I'd jump on a deal like that if I didn't decide to just trim my own!
