Aftermarket 69 Grille question

[darrin75]

Even though the few I have sold for them I have had no problems.  Considering the negative feedback they get.  I AM NO LONGER GOING TO CARRY Grille's on mopartraffic.com from this company.  I am still however working on doing what I can to help everyone I can before dropping the bomb on them...  My site will be updated ASAP.  Gunslinger's Grille parts are still for sale on the site, with 100% happy customers.

I think I'd sooner just modify a ghetto-grade fiberglass grille from Showcars (the ones with the vents not even cut open) than try going through the Premier Plastics obstacle course.  Not perfect but it would suit a driver.

darren75:   Thats great you are removing their product from the site. Save someone else from maybe being taken.

resq302: Sorry it bothers you but I was just trying to cover any post that has anything to do with Premier Plastic Reproductions.   I've lost the $ I'm sure, but if I can stop one more person from making the same mistake, to me its worth the post. I do plan on visiting the address in DEC. to see if they really exist and I can try then to get a refund or a grille. Small claims court requires you to show up at trail date in TEXAS. Hardly worth spending the airline fare which would probly be more than the $496.

I have posted in other areas threads about this sleezy operation who robs people of their hard earned money. I was one of the victims of these scumy sleezebag thieves. Angela is piece of crap that lies right to you. DO NOT GIVE PREMIER PLASTICS YOUR $$. Once they have it you are nothing to them. They only care about putting their imaginary grilles on sale and getting more credit card numbers. They are going to piss off the wrong person some day and pay for ripping people off. I paid in full $638.00 in November 2007! I have not received anything from them as of OCT 28 2008. Ass-wipe skank Angela had the nerve to call me in June telling me my grille is going to ship next week just to be a smart ass. That was the last time I heard from them. After calling them EVERY week for months and leaving messages she never once returned a call! Then she calls me when she feels like it 6 months after purchase and has the nerve to tell me my grille is going to ship? 11 months later Nov 2007- OCT 2008 I dont have any grille.

Can someone tell me if this company is still in business or have they been shut down? I cant find their website.

I feel real bad that you guys have been going through this crap with these people for so long.  It's not right and it's going to come back to them somehow in the long run.  What comes around goes around and it'll catch up with them sooner or later. Good luck!   Ted

Being in Texas it is really bad to pull this crap. I have a small arsenal, but am a level headed guy. Maybe someone not so level headed will get really pissed and go in shooting. It has happened before. You can only push people so far before they snap...and with money being such a touchy subject lately......

All who have been RIPPED off by ANGELA SEXTON and Premier Plastic Reproductions Please file a simple fraud report with your local POLICE or Sheriff department.  This will be forwarded to Mckinny Texas and be handled thru their local investagators. We need to get rid of these scammers so someone reliable will pick up the reproduction of these grille.

I filed mine this week with the local police dept. I hope they get what they deserve. They still own us 4500.oo in product

[Rosevillemoparts]

for those who have been burned by Premier and still need a grille. We have 3 of these on the shelf. 350.00 n/c to ship with in the US.
We had a 7k order in with them and only shipped a 3rd of it. Luckily we were able to charge them back for it.

[Ghoste]

I really wish they would get into reproducing Honda parts or something.  Maybe big goofy looking ricer wings.

Here's Premier Plastics hard at work!

What do you think a NOS 69 Charger grille would go for with all NOS chrome trim ?

[Blown70]

$5?  hahahah, pry a good few thousand.... Restored ones will fetch 1800 to 2000 complete...

[69bronzeT5]

What do you think a NOS 69 Charger grille would go for with all NOS chrome trim ?

We paid $400 for a used '69 grille with kinda beat up trim, needing to be restored and needing a new passenger side headlight bucket. That was back in 1999-2000.

[Nassau1969]

I have one that's all NOS for a good 8+ yrs now. I was offered nice money for it at one time over $3K. I feel that's a very reasonable price. But its a very rare piece. I would probably turn down allot more right now. Its not the money, I have a 1969 Charger R/T with 57K original miles that I bought in HS 26 years ago (I cant believe its been that long) I have these nightmare's every so often about that Rock bouncing down the road that was picked up by a car or truck in front of me and it hits the grille and blows a hole in it.  I don't trust these re-pro grilles yet, I heard the plastic is poorly mixed not sturdy to the elements of weather & time. I have a 70 R/T Charger also and have a extra grille for that to. I'm a nut I have allot of doubles of parts. I guess I'm a hoarder. I was just wondering what it would bring. I remembered I had it after I read this post. I'm 43 and I'm starting to lose my mind.

[70daytonaclone]

Nassau sounds like you got more money than brains. wish i had that problem! Hoard some more parts you don't need!

[Nassau1969]

70daytonaclone,
WOW I guess that's an insult, More money than brains no I don't think so. You make me feel as if i was bragging, which is far from the truth, if that's what your saying. I work hard for the money I spend on these cars. Do I enjoy it yes do I enjoy my cars yes, have I given parts away for not a dime yes. And yes I will hoard more parts some of my friends do also, I think everyone does. I'm in the middle of redoing my house and if there was a part I need and it would put the house on hold for a little while I would buy the part. Its not that I don't need them, its when I will need them. I was buying parts 4 yrs before I found/bought my 70 Charger and I'm glad I did because I cant find near half the parts that I was looking today when I bought them back then. Sorry if I offended u 70daytonaclone. As a matter fact I think I would like to do a Daytona clone one day so I hope you will be available for some advise.

There's a seller with an NOS 68 grill (just the 7 plastic pieces) that's always at Carlisle and he wants $5500 for it. Of course, he's had it for years so, obviously, no one is willing to buy it at that price. I have eight 68 grills myself (for 4 cars) but these things are so old and brittle you never know when one is going to break. Just a few weeks ago I posted some pictures of a bird strike to the front of my car which just missed the center of my grill. I'd rather have a spare than need to find one.

To answer the original question, yes, the reproductions are softer than the original material. In addition, the manufacturer is notorious for having no product and horrendous customer service. Unfortunately, there aren't many options other than finding a used one in good shape or an NOS one that cost more than some people spend on a whole car.

Get an imperfect used one for a reasonable price, fix it from 20 feet but don't sweat the perfection, and run it.  

It may still take years, but I'm pretty sure that eventually there will be some viable repros.  When there are, you can change out the used one for a perfect one and you won't feel like you over-invested into the stupid grille just to put together your car.
