I've never heard of any but the real thing.

I have a SA grille on my '85 and am quite happy with it.  Where the
original "Screws" (90� twist screws) go between two pieces of metal to
hold the original grille on, you'll want to insert a large screwdriver
or something and widen them a bit for the SA grille's push pins.  If you
don't, pulling the SA grille off can be a problem.
