Default repo 69 SS396 grille and wheel well moldings

Do any members here have any experience with the quality of the above mentioned reproduction parts? A long time friend recently purchased a nice older restoration 69 SS396 chevelle and those parts should be replaced and he does not care to spend the money for NOS parts unless the repo stuff is really not useable.

Thanks in advance for your help.

They make a 300 repop grille and a repop Malibu/SS grille. The repop SS grille is very good, it actually has a few additional vertical supports that GM should have put in, but did not. Some guys remove those, most would never notice. My experience is good. Maybe Dan will chime in with his experience.

Can't speak to the Chevelle wheelwell moldings, but the Camaro ones I've seen are junk.

I have only used NOS grilles, so I cannot comment on the repop grille. However the repop left and right side grille extensions are very nice. If Phil says the repop grilles are nice....his world is Golden for me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

The repop Covtex brand wheel well moldings are also very good.

Good luck,

Dan
