vegas_datsun Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 ok cool. yeah i ordered the ugly one loo. i thought there was only one at first. guess imma have to shop around more Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 One thing to look for when buying an early grille is to make sure it has all the metal trim rings around the headlights. They're hard to find. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 There is actually three version. The later version "ugly" also comes in chrome... Four. I have a two piece one.:lol: Quote Link to comment

motavated Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Honestly the reason I said three is when I was younger. Trading cars are ranked by rarity and if they shine. And honestly the later chrome one is the rarest of all. I have never seen a clean one in my life. There was even a thread here on someone trying to find one but successfully failed "or did he?". Any one can have the early and later grills. But the chrome later in good condition is like Charazard Pokemon trading card halo 1st edition in mint condition!!!!! I now collect rare 620 parts.... :lol: Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I discovered this evening that there is two versions of the early grill. The difference is the number of tabs that hold the trim rings on. The rings are different and the grill is different too. This grill has a lot of holes for the trim rings, and the rings have six tabs on them. I assume that this is a later-early grill. The other version of early grill only has four holes and end each trim ring only has four tabs to hold it on. Quote Link to comment

dave71 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 i got a shit load of the early grills 4 tab and i got what u call the ugly grill to..kinda like the ugly don't see them much Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 The chrome ones are 'rare' only because they are not factory. I see them on e bay a lot. Nothing special IMHO and wouldn't want one even if in the oldr style. Prefer them in gray and black. They are just way tooooo much chrome for me. So as far as I'm concerned there are old (the good) the new (the bad) and the chrome. (the ugly) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Opinions vary on which one looks better. I have never been a fan of the early grill. I threw one in the garbage once until I found out some fools wanted them! I then traded early grills for the later type. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I generally keep the right grille for the right year, but for personal preference I like the later ones because 1) They are thicker and harder to break when removing to change headlights and 2) because they don't have the trim rings to fall off. I don't like the color of either though... after years in the sun the dark gray fades to primer gray in an inconsistent pattern. The late ones look decent painted dark black semigloss, especially on light colored trucks to throw the grille in stark contrast. Quote Link to comment
dave71 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 RIGHT there datsaholic nailed it w/two words personal preference..u gotta drive and live w/it so choose carefully lol:D Quote Link to comment
