There are several variations of repro radio delete plates out, from very poor to very convincing... the originals are indeed on the brittle side, but they will actually warp if left out in the sun, so they arent as brittle as you may think... basically they are made from the exact same plastic as the trim panel above the glove box on a deluxe interior car. The chrome trim on all the one's i've ever had was just applied to the raised portion, just like the dash trim. The backsides on mine have always just been plain black plastic, with the part #s raised.
