Headlight door and grille moulding
 
How are the fit and finish on these repop parts?
My originals are kind of cloudy and I'm considering repainting the plastic and replacing the mouldings while I'm at it.

These mouldings are from Ames and the fit fairly well....very slight radius difference where the trim lays against the grill, but you have to look closely to see it. Overall a good fit and finish.

Those look good.
Where is the discrepancy exactly? You mean where the inboard, radiuses forward towards the endura nose?
Also, are your grilles and headlight covers original?

That radius issue was minor, and I "thumped" most of it out with a couple of gingerly placed blows with a deadblow. I tried to annotate a photo with a "radius" to try and give you an Idea as to what I was saying
As far as original, they might be original to the car but I had to go over them and repaint them, after fixing a couple of cracked fins, missing pin, etc., but they look presentable for a driver.

Ok, that is what I was trying to clarify...where the radius is and also, whether we're talking apples to apples...That is, new trim but on original grilles. Thanks.
