Bought a reproduction stainless (or chrome) grill. Between cost and shipping $500.00.

Pulled it out of the box, and the passenger side mid bars are bent wrong. Looked awful compared to the drivers side of the grill.

Supposed to be another on one the way and they will be picking up this one.

Hopefully who ever worked on this one just wound up getting up on the wrong side of the bed.

Any particular vendor sell one that might be a better quality?

Hoping the next one that comes in is better.

Wait until you try installing one! My advice loosen up everything. Then don't tighten anything until all the bolts are made. When I first strated fitting mine I thought no way will this fit but it did.

Here's a link to a picture looking down the passenger side end of the grill bars. Not even close.

If it looked like the drivers side shown here:

I think we would have managed.

A friend bought some AD grille bars at a swap meet. They were a bit too long. Possibly from a COE?

The biggest disappointment with this set was the end of the bars on the passenger side of the grill.

If they had looked like the driver side of the grill, we would have used it.

Another has been sent, and is supposed to be checked closely before it leaves.
