Hi Ira,
The repro finishers aren't so much like the original but they can be bent to
fit and look kind of ok. The grille openings are also very varied so if you
have one of the less-pretty grille openings then you'll have to cut the ends
off the finisher to get it in.
There should be all ten grille bars showing and about 1/8 to 3/8 gap below the
lowest bar. Cars leaving the factory often only had nine bars showing and the
lads must have done some creative fitting to get them out of the door.
We can only aspire to be this perfect

There was originally a peak in the middle of the finisher lip, repro's didn't
worry about this little detail. Probably some factory trims didn't either.

Good day.I am
working on my grill. The replacement lower lip from Moss is
not bent correctly. Any advice on getting it to fit
correctly would be appreciated. Nearly 90 today in
Portland,OR. Record heat. I rarther enjoyed my 72 degrees
drives this last weekend.Cheers
