    last week i test fitted the trim on the grille, suprisingly the center c trim fit well, most of them were to long but after trimming they were good, top and bottom fit weel right side fit good, left side didnt fit. the molding is to narrow and would not fit onto the grille, i had an nos piece and it went right on. the head lamp rings were all questionable of mounting and had issues in alignment. these have been addressed with metro
    Do you mean that all of the issues found were addressed or just the head lamp rings?

    I HIGHLY doubt that metro would have tooled prototyped and sent samples if they were not going to produce. If you cant wait buy what you find so you dont miss out.

    What would it take to mount this 71 re-production grille in a 72-74 Cuda, if it’s even possible?

    You would need to change the front bumper brackets, get headlight support pieces(don't remember the real name), headlight buckets. The spots where the grille connects to the header panel are close on 72+ header panels, but it might require a little creativity to get them all lined up. I did it on my 72 and it worked out pretty well, but my header panel was pretty much shot, so I could adapt without having to drill any holes in a good piece.
