In general, original parts are better than reproduced parts. Welcome to the world of refurbishing an old vehicle. Sometimes original parts are impossible to find and the re-pop parts are your only choice. In the case of the grille, you may have to use the good pieces from several damaged ones to make a good one. But the fact that re-pops are available means there are a lot of originals being removed to pick from. Enjoy the hunt.
