Steve - I have braved many frightful cold dark cellars (Northeast US), hot spider and wasp filled attics (everywhere from California to Arkansas), snake infested crawl spaces (Australia), mudslides, hurricanes, sunburn and frost (Hershey for 30 years), near mortal combat at auctions and even more delicate negotiations with octogenarians certain they will have a need for that particular part someday... in order to secure rare and unobtainium Packard Parts. I have personally ensured safe delivery (after numerous explanations to TSA personnel about carriage of exceptionally heavy unusual carry-ons, starters, generators, long pointed objects, etc) of rare parts to New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, half of Europe, and shipped to the other half. Ever seen a guy carrying a 74.9 lb radiator for a Packard through the Munich airport? - that was me. Between ChrisR and I, we transported a complete engine rebuild kit to France. I nearly saw a chiropractor in France after carrying 4 35-41 shock absorbers nearly across Paris (in addition to everything else including a complete 41 grille) I have arranged for couriers for manifolds to South Africa and used personal connections to ensure delivery to regions as remote as Moldova, India and Bulgaria! In a hurry for a set of connecting rods to Sydney, no problem. In a hurry for a transmission to Nashville, no worries that half of Dallas is without power and trees in most roadways, the trailer is leaving in the morning! Yet notwithstanding such risk and expense, I offer these items at what I believe is a very fair price. Final offer of $300 on the parking lights - 24 hours - then I will reevaluate my mood. You may have better luck finding an uncracked, unpitted left parking light housing for less, or a NOS pair just waiting for you around the corner at your local NAPA. Go ahead, take that chance.

As for the extensions, either you are referring to the "upper" bumper bars, or the striped stainless trim on deluxe 54's that is below the fender extension, above the bumper (edit, see below) , either way, I ain't got them, still both are pretty easy to find.

I checked my center grill section - the main bar I have is rechromed and drilled for the waterfalls. It is leftover from a project when I had two of nearly everything chromed and picked the best - I would not categorize this part as show quality - I think the chromer did it in too much of a hurry. I do not have a pair of waterfalls to bolt to it.

And yes, a $50 donation to the website I am certain would be most welcome.
