'69 Barracuda grill trim

I bought new repro trim for the grilles from PG Classics,
{3309-STSET Mopar 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Grille Screen Trim} but no way do they fit correctly. They are not bent correctly in the corners and after trying to tweek them every which way - there is no way they would fit like the originals.

So I went back to the originals. They are anodized, so I first had to strip the anodizing before I can sand and polish them and then clear coat. That will take many hours of work, but in the end, they will fit exactly back in the frames.
SO - based on my experience - DO NOT BUY THESE REPRO GRILLE TRIMS for your Cuda!!!!
