Reproduction Header Panel - Am I reading this correctly

[Marty73]

So I came across this  -

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-1974-Dodge-Challenger-Showcars-Front-Outer-Grille-Header-Panel-HP-0001/123312511113?fits=Model%3AChallenger&hash=item1cb5ff9889:g:OXwAAOSw6YtZVpbk&vxp=mtr#viTabs_0

First I've seen it, but it looks like this guy is re-poping header panels for 72-74 Challengers

If it's solid, it's heck of a lot better then the one I'm trying to repair. I emailed the company asking for clarification. They remake front end shells, I'm almost wondering if someone might have just "sliced" the front off of one of their shells...

Fiberglas

The originals are a fiberglass material. 

I know nice used ones are getting expensive but I never thought someone would be reproducing them.  That's great if they are quality pieces!  After looking closely though, they look a lot thinner then the factory part.

[Marty73]

Agreed, nice ones are getting pretty expensive

I'll post back once I get a response from the company. I may even buy one (at 295$ it sounds like a pretty good deal)

Okay...
First off...The guy is the biggest crook we have here in Ontario...Secondly every one of fiberglass parts he's ever manufactured in the last 30 years has been nothing but GARBAGE ..... He does not stand behind his work, his work is crap, you may never receive the part, when you do it will be wrapped beyond use if it's not broken in several areas, the guy is low life scum.... 

...other than that....yea looks like a cheap price....


Google search the guy and his business first....

Wow Alan... Tell us how you really feel....      Seriously though good info from a guy who knows...

I've seen these at a few shows here in Ontario the past couple years. I have not inspected them but the first look did not impress me. They seemed to be a bit rough. I know nothing of the guy's business history but apparently Alan does and he would know.

Am reading about them, bad reviews all around. Shame.... Guess I'll keep working on the one I have

[RUNCHARGER]

Good catch. I bought a set of spoilers for a 240Z from him, lots of work to make them fit.

  Stay away from this guy. I've heard countless stories about him. If you "must" it's COD in person after you have inspected the part. DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY ONE CENT UPFRONT!
I'm really surprised he is still on the green side of the lawn with the stuff I've heard.

Obviously, e-bay doesn't care so buyer beware applies here.
