72 442 Grill vendor options

I'm trying to find out what vendor repop 442 grill have members found best for the money and if there are any brackets/hardware needed for install that are not included? I'm not looking to make my car a clone. I just like the grill, so that will be the only 442 part installed on the car.

Any feedback is appreciated

I sourced high quality ones from Fusicks. Fusicks makes the grills them selves and they are very well done. You may have some plastic trimming to do but that is the world of reproduction parts. You will need to buy the 442 or Cutlass badge seperately.
I doubt if any other supplier makes these- not sure.
I replaced my hardware but it was common, not special type stuff.

I may have some new, never installed aftermarket grilles to sell. Will look for them, and get back to you via private message, csouth.

Hit me up once you find out. I'm not in a rush.

I bought the Fusick ones on my Cutlass. I had fit issues and had to trim the tabs for the chrome (?) trim piece that mounts to the outer edge of the grills. Someone told me that using their aftermarket grills with an original stone guard isn't as much of a problem.
