Pretty sure that guy has advertised here. 

I think the problem with them is that they arent finished very nicely on the backside, IIRC.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong?   :clueless:

There's been a company selling 71 aftermarkets around $500 on Ebay lately without the trim. They also advertise 70's but I haven't heard back from them about availability. Also have not heard about their quality.
Good thing is they are local to me so I can goo look before I buy once the funds become available.

If you do make the plunge please posts pics and your opinions on quality. I would rather get that info from a fellow mopar buyer than from the seller. Good Luck with it. You are right about the prices for original grilles. (criminal)

PPR in texas is the only one doing the 71 cuda grille, They are working on the 70 cuda and a 69 charger. I have the 71 and they are great pieces, all if the trim and tower insert fits really good. Goodmark is also coming soon with there version of the 70 cuda with the h/l bezels. which i will have in soon. I have sold alot of the 71 grilles and have had zero issues.
I have also heard that the cudagrille.com , grille have issues. ??????????????

I think that's them. guess I better give them a call about the 70 grill, they haven't returned my emails. The headlight reproductions to complete the setup looks to be pretty expensive. $500 for a grill, $350 for the headlight bezels(from another vendor), another $300+ for the chrome trim, etc. $1500+ for original setups, but they are crack prone.

I have mopar, goodmark and bea parts in stock. We also have the grille sets on order from goodmark that are mopar # ed as do bea grilles, Big difference is going to be is that Mikes grille will be complete with the lamps roughly 1600.00 goodmark with be complete minus the lamps.
