If you are able to rechrome the orignal then by all means stay with it. I bought a reproduced one unfnished and I was glad I did. The repo did not fit well and I needed to fill in with the wire welder in the top corners and do some rearanging to make it fit. The thing was origanly made in Argentia. I am going to paint the new grill so I'll going to be able to make it work.
