I think the insert in mine is a repop but the area that should be darker is inset about a 1/32". My brother bought a new '69 and a couple months later I bought a new '70. Parked side by side the difference was quite noticeable. I drove a lot of miles with him in my rear view mirror. I'd be interested to see some pictures and to hear how guys have accomplished this.
I have been told that the 70 inner grille is not reproduced, only the 69 style without the recessed areas.
