You should be happy with the grill overall and that is a good price. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | As stated they probably ultimately all come from one or 2 places. I'm happy with the fit/finish on mine and if there's anything to complain about it would be that the radiuses at the ends of the bars are not formed as well as the originals but you have to look closely with them side by side to really notice it.

Overall though, for $349 to my front door was not a bad price and since it'll live most of its life inside I think it will be OK....just polish it once in a while!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | Well,I pulled the trigger today.$386.00 with shipping it from Calif.to Ohio....I'm happy with the price....
I bought a new painted one some years back when I decided I wanted to do the mono thing and paint everything...I've never installed it.....Ol Bob finally yelled loud enough to get my attention to tell me he wanted chrome

My advise is to keep the repro one always waxed, because if you let alone (on hard climates), could rust with the pass of time.
thanks,
