This is the reproduction stainless grill bar trim pieces that cover the front of the bars. Most all of the restoration parts companies sell them. Before clicking the buy it now button, I would ask if the mounting hardware is included. There is no mention of it. There are clips that slide into the grooves in the backside of the trim pieces with threaded studs. You'll need to drill holes in your existing grille bars for these to fit onto. Here's a link to Dennis Carpenter's page showing the trim and related hardware included in his price. https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/en/...le/7C-8200-GBK

That is the company I bought my set from on eBay.
The bars I got are great, and the fasteners were included. However I preferred to use the original push clips, as the aftermarket ones with the threads just seemed cheap.
Overall very happy.

I'm almost certain that is the vendor where I bought my trim set. The quality was acceptable and the fastener set was included. The spreader pieces have to be cut to fit the width of each trim piece. That takes some extra time but it is a job to do indoors during the winter or something like that.
Each stainless piece fit my battered grille OK. I needed those trim pieces to cover up my caveman method of smoothing out the 70 years of dents.
