Default SLP SS Grille?

So I've not been around the forums for a while, so maybe I missed this, but... are the SLP SS Grilles still available? I'm not seeing them anywhere??

There's a very good chance that I'm just blind??

I thought I saw them about 2 weeks ago when I looked too. Really hoping I'm just having a momentary lapse here..

Interested as well but they are hard to find. This website says they are still available but I haven't asked them if they are yet.

Ah, yes, I did not try them. Went ahead and put order in, we'll see if it shows up... they are no longer showing up on several other sites for some reason.

Just got a reply from afterthoughts auto.

SLP has discontinued the SS Grille for the 98-02 Camaro...

Search will resume on craigslist/ebay/classified section. Damn, that was easily the best looking front end mod for these cars.

I agree. I want one so I can cut out the solid parts for my intercooler. I love the way that looks with an intercooler behind it.

I would imagine that them being discontinued everywhere will drive the used prices up, since they'll be harder to come by now.

Ok guys I have a lead on some. I found a place that say they still have some but stock is low. I don't trust emails so I am going to call them shortly when I have time at work and make sure before I order and I will report back and give you guys the number to call if it pans out.

Thanks for looking necrocannibal... yeah, I got my hopes up too with a few places. Really does appear that they are gone, except the 2nd hand market.

2JAWZ, I've been keeping an eye on ebay, haven't seen any yet

Someone needs to produce something that looks very similar and sell it since SLP no longer makes them.

Technically speaking SLP is no longer, the company is now SVE

So hypothetical question: Since SLP is no more, and SVE is not making that grille, couldn't someone, such as 6LE (or anyone else) reproduce that piece?
