Header panel

[topnotch]

Which vendors have the best header panels for an 86 grandnational or does someone have used one in good shape for sale thank in advance

Try and find a used OEM one the aftermarket ones fit like crap. Lot of work needed just to make it presentable.

I was over at a buddy's house sunday who was in the process of rebuilding his car and he had an aftermarket clip that fit pretty darn good. Don't remember the brand

I got from them once it was straight trash it had absolutely no mounting bolts maybe I got the wrong one, but I doubt it

It came with the studs to screw into it and the metal upper bracket which had to be tweaked a little.

As Stefan (TRICKSIXPA) mentioned above, search for a used one..... why not grab one off a car being parted out? That way you'll be almost certain to get an OEM header panel.
I see cars being parted out regularly on this board & turbobuicks.com & I hadav8.com too.
Surely they all won't have front end damage.
Just me 2cents!

I've seen many cars parted out. I've seen very few good original header panels.

I agree, most are being parted out cause they're wrecked in the front

What does a really nice OEM one go for?

Id pay $500 in a second if I needed one.

A used OEM one in good shape no cracks $300 and up. Crap ones $150-$200
I got a good used one about 3 yrs ago spent $250 from a friend. Aftermarket headers the biggest issues is the headlight mounting and the headlight bezels fitting. They need a lot of work to cut the holes up. The one I'm putting back on my car I had to open the hole up on the fender where the tab is suppose to just slide into.

Thanks. Good to know.
I have a very nice one from a we4 I'd sell for $400. no cracks or repairs. but I'm not going to bother with shipping it. would bring it with me to bowling green though
