So, I have stumbled across an original grille, and I have been looking for a replacement since mine is totally shot. Guy wants $300 - says it is in very good shape with a small dent on the driver side bottom. I haven't seen it in person yet though. I know new ones are $500+ for just the outer - but I don't know about the quality of a new one from say, LMC, vs. one of these originals.
Everything is negotiable, but I am unsure what I might counter-offer, or if the $300 is indeed reasonable, and I should just go for it.
Thoughts?
Also, can these older grilles be cleaned/freshened up and if so, how? Just some polish and elbow grease, or is there some extensive process?
