I think they look great ! I replaced all mine with NOS about three years ago. Cost me about $500.00 for alll of them...I lucked out on the center and left side. The right side was the hardest to find and the most expensive. If I had to do it again....I would probably redo the ones I had.

I have seen original 68 grills and they look very different.... problem is the ones I have seen are pretty rough and peeling so I really can't tell what they looked like from the factory.

I have a pic of a 68 bowtie, but it was in a dark garage so the grill doesn't show up too well.

Here are a couple of mine, with the painted silver grill.



oohhh you did the entire grill in silver? it looks great! ithought you were doing the leading edge like mine are. mine are black w/ the leading edge painted ..yours look like the entire grill is painted unless its the camera angle,,,either way it looks GREAT!!( YOUR PAINT ALSO IS BEAUTIFUL)
