Default 1967, are new repro headlight buckets REALLY cra$%y?

Just wanted to get opinions on new replacement passenger headlight buckets (or is it called an fender extension?).... It seems to be a little tricky to find an original on Ebay without a broken tab, etc. Do the new ones have fit issues? Who has the best new one, or are they all manufactured by the same company? (for a 1967 Coupe)

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I didn't put new ones on mine, but I've talked to several people who said they fit badly

I put new ones on my 68 fastback. Am doing the whole rotisserie restoration. Anyway I also put new front fenders on cuz the old ones were bond-queens (lol). Right side fit good ... no problem. Left side not so great ... took a professional body guy about 2 days to get it and the fender to match up perfectly. Had to cut the fender bucket and stretch it etc... Cost more than factory originals would have but didn't have factory originals lol. I'm from Alberta so had to use the "The Mustang Shop" out of Calgary for parts. I believe they were Scott Drake stuff but don't quote me. I can find out for you if you'd like. It fits better than new now anyway ... Ford factory stuff didn't fit that great back then let alone now. Good luck with it.
