[Reproduction 72 grill]

I can't find anywhere on the SS396 site that indicates what that grille is made out of. What has me intrigued is the price difference between theirs and OPGI's. OPGI's is confirmed plastic and made by Restoparts. The SS396 one appears to be made by GroundUp, so I'm wondering if they are indeed completely different repops. I'm hoping the 140.00 price difference for the GroundUp one means its a metal one. For what its worth I called their customer service last week and the lady said she "thinks" its a metal grille, but take that with a grain of salt because they do not have these in hand yet. I have sent an email inquiry to them asking for confirmation on the material their grille is made of but haven't heard anything back as of yet.

It would be nice if this was the case.

I don't see a problem with it being plastic as most modern grills are plastic chrome and they hold up just fine and you get a weight savings too. also most old cars don't get driven in the elements so they will be fine.

I think at 300-500 for a repo another 2-400 for an original show rechrome isn't a bad price.
