I ordered 73 grilles from Corvette America and they are WAAAAAY to big, the invoice and package all say 73 and this should be as easy as anything but these things won`t go anyway I try them, they are shaped correctly and the parking lights fit in them just fine but if I hold the curved edge against the curved opening the straight end is well over 2 inches past the opening in the center

These grilles are 17 inches across the top and 6 inches down the straight side Thanks John I really appreciate it, they look to be ok on the height but the length seems to be to long

I tried to post a pic but photobucket seems to be having issues tonight. Remember that theykind of slope forward from the bottom to the top, Make sure you are putting them in the correct side and orientation.

Well I had a revelation this afternoon, came home got a cold one sat down and looked at the car and just thought, got the book out and EUREKA it hit me I have a 75 nose on my 73 car. I could beat some BUBBA`S A==.
A BIG thanks to Wilcox. I called them this afternoon and they said no problem send the old stuff back and new stuff is on the way.
I knew I was trying to stuff a wet noodle up a wildcats behind;
