yeah, that was my educated guess as well.....the Originals are still at least 20 years old in the box, just like the ones on the car....and then you don't know where the Originals were stored prior to you buying them....coulda been in some hot-ass attic for the last 20 and when I finally get em they crack up anyway from being "unfolded" in a cold climate.....I still can't believe repro's of any item is so high. I'm well aware of the associated costs like clearance from GM etc, but still....I bet it the actuall costs are very minimal per unit and then being sold at like 2,000%. My business thinking is you sell 'em for 100 a pair and sell 3 times as many in quantity or the grille's for example.....what a sticker shock there for repro's. Again sell them at a significantly lower price and more of us regular guys would buy those grille's....sorry, but just venting at the greed that has finally hit our hobby like all the others. For what it's worth, I got a front pair from Brian at G-Body and utilized some patience knowing that they were not going to be a perfect match, and with little effort, they lined up perfectly when done.....
, and REPRO Grille's for $300
