Just added the 7th name to the list, only need 3 more people.

BTW, it does seem pricey, but to do a custom one alone is soooooo much more expensive. OEM 3 slat grill is about $200 used and even more new, plus the labor and materials and you are well over $350 and more into the thousands (trust me I've searched forever).

Thanks in advance!

It seems the OEM 3 slat part number is
209-880-01-03

and the hood support is
209-889-00-90 which likely supersedes 209-888-00-90
Sorry for being so late with this-thanks to spr (sean) for this info from another thread!

I said over $200 new and $350+ if you try to custom the grill yourself.

Thanks for your input and it seems as though you got a great deal, I haven't found a dealer that is selling OEM 3 Slat Grills for under $300.

ANYWAYS....

I just got back from the test fit, here are some pics that I took:







Please check out the group buy in the Group Purchases forum. The grill obviously isn't finished, but it is coming along. They hope to have the grill ready by the end of the week for any last adjustments prior to making the first batch.

Add your name to the list to get the GB price! Only a couple more spots left.

I hope you like the grill, cause I sure do!

Just an FYI, this grill will be made in either Duraflex material or Carbon Fiber.

Please add your name to the GB thread if you are interested!
