Re: New KeyParts Aluminum 1964 to 66 grill and bezel review

So if it is thinner aluminum than original, the price is still very reasonable. I wonder if cost versus volume would have made making it of the same thickness of aluminum as original and charging more but selling less.

I'm going to weigh one of mine today to check the weight. Has anyone measured the thickness of the new grill?
