thoughts on aftermarket grilles

[79malibu350]

I am notoriously cheap, so ive put it off for a great many year but my wife now says i need a new grille. GREEN LIGHT!
Always thought id go with honest charley when i finally pulled the trigger, but now i see one on rock auto for about half the cost. ive bought stuff from them before in the body shop, mostly inner fenders, molding, non powered mirrors and such, little different than my baby's grille. anyone bought anything for their g body from rock auto or got another source?

PS i had a couple bad experiences with goodmark/ carid and wont use patronize the flying monkeys

Hell naw. You would do much better to take some measurements and make a custom grille than buy it from rock auto. I only use them for electronics to save hundreds of dollars overall but a grille is all about appearances not function so I vote no

I looked up RockAuto's alternate part number 475678...Amazon identifies it as a Keystone product with 1200206 as its alternate...for $75! Let us know what you think of their product. Still waiting for the aftermarket to make a 1980 grille....
