Location: Blythewood, SC | Years. If at all. There are many threads here about Mr. Laurie's customer service and turn times. Everyone agrees that his product is top notch. But it does take several years on average to get what you paid for up front.

Location: Northern New Jersey | In 2009, I sent George Laurie $500, for taillight, parking light lenses, and emblems, for my 60 Desoto.
Never got my lenses or my money back.
You'd be a fool to send this **** sucker your hard earned money!

Location: So. Cal | I purchased a set of '58 DeSoto lenses from his as well and received them. Beware that the plastic on them doesn't hold up to UV light as well as the originals. My car has been sitting outside and the lenses are now quite hazy on the tops of them, Whereas I have original lenses on another car that now look better than George's lenses. Just FYI. |

Just curious, how long did it take the car sitting out to start becoming hazy? |

Location: So. Cal | They became hazy after 2-3 years sitting in the sun. But keep in mind that I live where there is a lot of UV around, all year round. |

Yes, just like back in the day when these cars were regular transportation, parked outside, and not just 2-3 years. |

Location: Murray Bridge, South Australia | I paid for them in 2016. But I knew eventually I would get them as we are both in Australia. Well its over with the waiting, I wonder if George is aware of the missing orders? email him on georgelaurie@bigpond.com and have your payment slip handy. I have a feeling he will retire soon and I have offered to buy him out. |
