Title: '69 RS Grill - NOS vs Reproductions?
Post by: Hans L on March 29, 2022, 10:07:07 PM
I've been having some difficulty sourcing a nice '69 GM RS Grill.  The one I recently purchased had poor plastic flow in the grill grates and I had to return it - see image, below.    The vendor states the ones he has are all similar and have this defect.   

So I'm leaning towards getting a reproduction grill.   Can anyone here comment on the quality, fit n finish for the '69 RS grills?  I am shooting for a higher-end restoration, so quality is important.   Thanks!

New "NOS" GM RS Grill - note poor grill grate castings.
