Very nice work. I hope mine turns out this well.

Do you know if your NOS grille is an excess production line piece or and over the counter dealer piece? The reason I ask has to do with the black out where the grille textures attach.

I have (4) grilles I'm looking at right now as reference (2) are original to my cars and (2) were replacements bought from dealers. The replacements don't have the blackout while the production line parts do. Also the texture retainers on the replacements are round while the one on the production line pieces are rectangular.
