How is fit and finish of aftermarket alum engine grills?

[dave w]

How do the aftermarket grills for early cars compare to OE for fit and finish? Considering one for a '70 driver....

You can also find a used one on the classifieds here and on the bird site...

Thanks. I've found several used ones, but all need to be refinished on top of price paid. So I'm trying to decide if I should go that route or get a repro if they are decent. Some repro parts are acceptable some are total junk. I've never seen a repro grill in person so I can't say. Looking for opinions on them. I searched but found nothing.

One of the vendors had one at Hershey this year. I thought it looked pretty good.

Thanks, but as I said....its for a driver, not a concourse car. I don't need a $1k grill....

Cake. Eat it or don't.

Are the slats numbered like the original? Devil is in the details.

You guys are hilarious. I don't know why the slats look funny in that picture--I just pulled another one of the shelf, as well as what the factory is selling and put a straight edge on the 'tines' Same/essentially nil deviation from straight.

Ours are coming from a Euro supplier--might even be the same as Marek's. Not sure. The close-ups of his look identical to ours.
