When I had the car repainted for the 2008 Lake of the Ozarks 50th the body shop was heavy handed and the top most pin was pulled so hard to install the speed nut it cracked the metal of the grill around it.  Not super evident until you get close.  Up close you can see the crack at the peak of the grill.

The repro has no such detail.  Maybe not important to some people, but it bugs me.  Second, the grill came bent at the bottom.  See picture below.  Both ends bent like this.  The chrome is cracked at the bend also. Glad I didn't spring for the high quality show chrome version.
