Just do what all the other reproduction parts houses do with their chinese junk and add the disclaimer "for display purposes only" to get around liability. Heck you won't even have to worry about paying GM licensing royalty fees for repoping their parts if you make them "discernably different" in appearance from originals, like say for instance, adding your own forging mark/insignia/embossment on the mounting flats ..where it'll never be seen once the hooks are bolted onto the frame
In any case, with originals flipping for $300-$400/set, Id bet $150-$200 is in range for excellent repops (identical shape, part numbers, grain etc.).
