    Feedback needed on new repro rear lid grille ?

    Hi,
    I came across this grille for the rear decklid ; anyone had bought one and can give us feedback on repro accuracy and fitment ?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...8f15c9&vxp=mtr

    Looks to be a good deal if the quality is right...

    Thanks, Best Regards
    JD

    It looks good, I'm wondering mainly about the shape and the length of the bars...

    Anybody bought one ?

    Although I have not bought one, the size and shape looks fine. The bars are not suppose to be even, and should be scattered like that. Just watch out for dips and bends in the bars which has appeared on my 71 911e

    I bought one of the 72/73 versions direct from Porsche they were made by Marek who is all over this board and they were advertised here at
    some stage.

    Having said that on closer inspection the picture shows what appears to be a secondhand unit as some of the ends are bent so maybe not the same
    vendor/supplier.

    I got feedback from the only guy who bought the one on eBay and he's very disapointed about the quality. So the only way to go is to spend around 1k$...
