GM still sells the lenses.
However... The lenses they are now selling DO NOT have the little dimples to mount the crosshairs. You have to drill new 7/64" holes to mount them.

GM no longer sells the crosshairs but EliminatorSS (a member here) is making repops. I am using black ones I got from him and they look quite nice!

I have seen Twisted_Metal's crosshairs and they do look really good.

EliminatorSS did a very nice job on them.

Would it be possible to see some photos of his repop crosshairs...I gave up on looking thru swapmeets, etc. for years trying to find originals. I had them on my car, but somebody swiped them 8 yrs. ago.

Not a particularly flattering pic.... kinda dusty. But anyway, I put them on mine and went with the obvious choice in black...
Very nice product. BTW... if you drill a small hole in the lense and run a screw into the backside of the bullett... makes them much tougher to swipe

I used screws through the lenses in mine too.

WARNING: Be careful you don't get too much tension on the screw or you will crack a nice new lens.

I used a rubber washer between the lens and bullet on the replacement.
