Any one who has bought a repro 69-70 or 71-72 outer grill I need feedback on fit and quality. Thanks.

Got a 69-70 repro grill. Outer section was a good fit. Took a lot of tweaking to get the inner grill in and running lights. Would of rather spent the extra cash to get a GM grill. If I remember right the center bar section was not formed correctly which caused the problems above.

I didn't buy a repo from you, but from some other place. The fit isn't very good. I had to bend the outside to try to cover the fenders and I can't get it to set up against the body line on the fender. Few scratches were also in it when I got it. GM is the way to go.

Thanks I did not get the response I thought I would on this but I put a 69-70 in my grill section yesterday, maybe I should take it out. So far out of 600 G.M. NOS grills shipped no problems or returns for refunds I like happy customers.
