There is a part number but it is in the wrong place compared to my original one. The underneath does not seem the same as my original one. He is saying it is NOS and it has been painted non of the bosses for the grill"s have been drilled.

the pics are 1.75", opening the attachments makes them 1.50", really too small to see.

It does have the chrysler pentstar also and both part numbers.
The front does not look right to me....The ridge by the grill opening.

Most of the repros have the part number, vendor code and the pentastar but that is no guarantee it is real.
As other have said here it is definately a reproduction and not even a good one.
You state the bosses are not drilled.....bear in mind NOS scoops came with all bosses drilled.

The bubbles with the angular front openings (like the first one posted in this thread) are that way because someone is molding them in fiberglass off of an original then trimming the openings with angular straight cuts without removing enough material and shaping the openings with the gentil and continuous curved opening shape that the originals had (as shown in R/T's 1st example above my post). Notice how thick his second example is around the opening? The originals taper to a much thinner/sharper edge at the opening as opposed to a thick straight cut. I'd guess his second example is an AAR Fiberglass reproduction, not exact but one of the closer reproductions on the market.

Dont know where the repop just came from really, pretty good but twice the weight. One could probably grind and make it look more oem as mentioned, but this is just for a driver so not worth it.
