Aftermarket Grilles who makes the best?

My grilles are shot and need to be replaced on my 72 Supreme. Is anyone making a good quality aftermarket grille? I know the usual suppliers. Has anyone purchased a set, what is the quality like and from whom did you purchase?

The ones I got from Fusicks(1969-442) were perfect for my 69

I do plan on ordering a new '70 set from either Fusick's or Parts Place to compare.

Parts Place is local to me, but many claim Fusick's is the best.

The Prettiest One's grilles are from Fusicks. Nothing wrong with them!

I have to ask you this: Why would you want to go repro when you can get a BRAND NEW NOS set of Supreme grilles (in GM boxes) for 250.00???

Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.ca/NOS-72-Hurst-Olds...item230fdfb2ff

If it was my car, this is what I'd be buying....

Thanks for the tip on the Ebay originals. I did not even think original GM grilles could be had. That is why I go to the best and most knowlegeable web site for advice.

No sweat. Glad to help; the only downside I can see is that you are in OR and the seller is in OH. Shipping shouldn't be that bad though. You'd be surprised at what is on ebay nowadays. Just bought a brand new (NOS in box) relay for the electric defogger on glass (71/72 rear window) for 24.99. After I bought it, I found 2 more NOS identical relays, but they were selling for 149.00 EACH . You really have to shop around to get the best value
