If you check out my web site...The last six 1970 Challengers all have reproduction grills from Roseville Moparts.  :alan2cents:

I like them, but I'm not a OE Gold judging type guy...I just like to restore nice cars that can be driven...

I the furthest from a purist/OE  guy but I was not impressed with the repops
I went to buy on at Carlisle one year but they were out of stock and once I seen one in my hands I was glad it worked out that way.  For what the cost I expected better. The part that surrounds the eggcrate grill should be bright anodized  and it was simply painted silver, and a few other items were not right. Now I if I had no grill to start with then that might be a viable option but it made me get off my butt and clean up the one I had and I much happier with what I ended up with than all the money on a repop.  Just my  :alan2cents:

There was a restored one for sale locally a short time ago. Not too far from you. If you're interested I can try to look to see if it's still available?

I saw a NOS one in Carlisle in the fall. Very nice and very expensive. Every used one I saw was torn on the corners as was the one on my car. I did buy the filler piece and replaced mine and was very happy with it and it fit pretty good. Then spent the next week cleaning the litter tiny squares with a giant box of Q Tips and polish.
