I just replaced my damaged grill with this new one. I had to drill out the small rivets and replace with the correct larger ones. You also have to enlarge towards the rear of the car the holes for the turn signal mount. Otherwise they will not seat. Other than that they are great!

That's a Goodmark grille. Not a bad piece, the plastic does have some minor issues and the trim is awful. The lateral bars are flat and do not have the step like an original. The mounting bolt holes for the parking lights will need modified so the lights go all the way in. The headlight bucket mounting feet do not have the brass sleeve in them, don't over tighten the screws, you might smash the feet. If you have good original trim, us it, install the repro stuff and you'll see what I'm talking about. Listen to HEMICUDA. He knows what he’s talking about. He is the main reason we have really GOOD 70 cuda grills out there in the first place. He did produce them but got out of the repop business. He spends half of his time now in a one man restoration shop and the other half chasing little white balls around in a cow pasture trying to hit them into gopher holes.😁😁. That’s the rumors anyway. Lol. If you can find one of his repops you’d be better off buying his. They came painted to perfection, both the black AAR and the argent Cuda grille. I bought some of the first ones out and some of the last ones he had just for stock. They all have the part number on them. PG classic sells a grille but it may be the same one as the Goodmark grille. It may be painted but I don’t think so. I see they advertise they have an AAR grill advertised cast in black plastic but it may not painted. I’m not sure if anyone has the parking light assembly out there yet. His came with them. Last time I spoke to PG, they were working on getting them out. I’m glad I got my stock of them when they were available. I’ve bought a car recently and I’ve already have a new grille to go in it. I just bought a car that had one of his new grilles that came with it. That was a big bonus. 👍
