Does anybody have thoughts on The Parts Place's front Grill quality before I order?

Can anyone share any positive or negative experiences with the fit and quality of these grills for my 1972 Vista Cruiser? They are by far the best offer with many going for $400 and more plus shipping and I'm trying to figure out if these are a lesser quality at $295 shipped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/271116852587?ViewItem=&item=271116852587

My originals are probably repairable, but they have quite a few of the mounting tabs broken and missing, so I'm trying to decide if I should continue repairing them.


Thanks, Tom

I have a pair of NOS 72 supreme grills in GM boxes $215 plus ship.

they do not have the molding on them (thats how they came) you will have to reuse your original grill molding or order the TPP repro molding

That does sound tempting and I appreciate the offer. Do I go with all brand new grills and trim shipped for $295 or NOS with my old (slightly damaged) trim for $$215 plus shipping? Can you please tell me where they'd be shipping from so I can get an idea of the shipping charges? Also, do they have any damage from years of storage or are they really brand new?

Thanks, Tom
