Another case of reinventing the wheel.They went to the trouble so why didn't they they make it completely like original? It was not like original rear holding stakes were that hard to manage into place. The front side looks fine the backside looks terrible in comparison to original IMO. OK for a restomod but if someone is concerned about originality this part falls short.Just my review ,others may have a different one.What a shame.

So $695 that's for a reproduction piece

How much is an original one worth with the grille and shelby grille emblem worth?

So $695 for the trim

Plus $950 for the repro grill

That's not available like many other 60-70 parts

So that factors its value at X two 1,900

So a legit factory setup has go to be in the $5K range

Good lawd !

That one is not a candidate for a concours restoration given it's front and back condition IMO. With the pins broke off makes it a problem to attach and the fix will make it look like the repro granted at a lower price then the ebay new repro.The front may or may not be able to be brought back to the expectations needed. I have only seen one type of repro done over the years that was faithful to the original design. Unfortunately it has been out of production for maybe 20 years.
