EL CAMINO REPRO GRILLE

[Red Regal T]

Has anyone purchased a new el Camino grille? I see G-body parts has a grill for $69 and was wondering about the overall quality of it. Anybody know?

I bought one from NPD and had to send it back twice until I got one that didn't have chrome peeling ,and I had to repaint the blacked out part ,and fiddle with it to get it to fit.
I bought two front fenders also that where unusable ,wound up throwing them in the scrap bin, Finally got a refund after filing a dispute with my credit card company.

Thanks for the response. I thought they might have issues for the money. Anybody else, please chime in. If I decide to buy one for my 86 I'll run it by Brian at G-body parts to see what he knows. Thanks again!

I used to see NOS ones on eBay all the time...
You're gonna pay for it, but it's worth it.

Well, my grille isn't the worst in the world, but I thought, down the road after I paint the car, a nice, new, shiny, grille would be nice, especially for $69. I can only imagine what NOS is going for. Naaah .. I don't even want to know.
