Replacement. You can polish them all you want, but they will still haze soon after.

Yup. The haze is the plastic breaking down. Soon they will crumble.

The only fix is replacement.

Yup. It has very little to do with climate. The plastic breaks down on its own. Sure, exposure to sunlight and temperature cycles accelerates it, but it's inevitable. Being in the garage is why they didn't crumble twenty years ago.

Mine let go in 2014. After about three years wiping the haze off, they cracked and disintegrated. I replaced mine with Gbodyparts.com's pieces, which fit just fine.

Depends on your criteria. If you're doing a show-car concourse restoration or want them to look original, then no. They don't match. Get the G-body Parts.com ones.

But if you don't care about it being completely original appearing (which 95% of us), Spoolfool's your man. Especially his one-piece rear filler. It's a beauty.

If your car is black, you can buy a bit of time with Turtle Wax black spray detailer.

Understand that it is only a band-aide at best.
