Difference from Original to Repop
I'm headed out to look at a grill today. What should I look out for?

Re: Difference from Original to Repop
Try to get an original. With patience and work, you can get them to come out fine.

Re: Difference from Original to Repop
i would say another factor could be thickness/overall quality, of course depending on how high the level of quality is if it is a re-pop

But how can you tell the difference between original and repop? Posted via Mobile Device[/QUOTE As far as the grill goes, I wouldn't know but I've bought plenty of Repop parts and almost none of them are as good as original. |

Re: Difference from Original to Repop
For a 69,70 grill it will say Chevrolet in the center crossbar if its original. I believe all of the repops are blank there.
