So, it does not look like any good non-OEM options...who has the best OEM front grill pricing?

I bought a single fin grille on ebay, vendor was "55tech". I've had it for about 2 years now, no problems, looks good. Seems well made, plastic is solid and chrome remains shiny. My car is garaged and is only driven on nice days, so I can't really say for sure how well it would hold up if it was out in the weather a lot.

Perfect answer! My SL55 gets the same treatment but I do use it for long highway cruising too.
