Original grille bars are not shiny. They are painted grey.

Also there is a significant difference in the weight between most of the Chinese grilles and an original. Only repro grille close to original and made in the USA is the now defunct grille insert from Dale's in OKC. I have not had a chance to check the new United Pacific inserts.

Should be painted, not stainless, is the first clue.
