How do I know what my RR grill looked like. I don't have the original and have seen in pictures like 3-4 different looking grills

Here is a correct 73/74 Roadrunner grill, they are black, not grey, those were on the satellites.
Here is a close view of one side.
Here it is installed.

So does that chrome piece come off? The satellite i have has the black plastic egg crate and no chrome. I was planning on moving it over

Yes, the chrome piece on the bottom is attached with small screws.

Do they sell it aftermarket?

No aftermarkets available. I had to used two parts grills and one in fairly good shape and thankfully know a guy that is great with plastic restoration and he was able to restore my grille.

Yep... there's never been many parts reproduced for 73-74 cars. If it wasn't also on 71-72 cars, you won't find it reproduced.
Did you leave the bottom aluminum piece as polished only? Or did you have it anodized?
Looks too bright to be anodized.
Nice work.

Last time I checked, Classic Industries is re-popping 73-4 Grilles and headlight bezels for 73-4 Satellites and Roadrunners.

Wow, $700 for a reproduction grill and only on pre-order! Does that mean originals are now worth more or less? You can repair one for less than that. Oh, and $175 or the trim piece that goes on the bottom. You can also get a grill, lower trim and both parking light assemblies for $1100. The headlight bezel is more reasonable at $149 or $300 for the pair.
Someone is certainly busy getting these parts available, tail light lenses also available for $205 a pair, and the parking light assembly $80 each.

I have a used one but it has some dings and scratches. Maybe it could hold you over until you find a nice one. You can have it on the cheap.
$30.00 + shipping from Las Vegas, NV (pics available)
They only make RH headlamp bezels not pairs from what i saw? Nice to see parts but prices are crazy. I have nos grilles, bezels and trim and I doubt I could get $700 for the center I have in the box....

allmost two years for all those Mopar new grilles repro parts being published and still ARRIVING SOON since that... wondering what it means SOON for them

It probably means "as soon as we get enough pre-orders to afford to do the tooling, we will start making them". Wow, didn't know its been in that status for two years, that crazy.

Maybe not 2 years but sure a year and a half... who cares. I won't preoreder anything without any previous experiences. I already got REEEEEEALLY DISSAPOINTED with my interior panels. I feel that trashed around $1500 to the trash can with the panels I got.
I just need the 73/74 headlight fillers... Someday the grilles unless I get an used set better than mine but by now just the fillers
