Default Black billet grille

Where can these be had? I know that there used to be a seller on ebay that had them, but it seems like hes not selling them anymore.

Thanks

true, and if I were looking for a grille I'd go for it over any other ones, but $120 is a little more than I'd like to spend for it....not hat it isnt nice.

I bought a billet grill off ebay, black with a polished front...I couldn't find one that was all black. Got the grill for the 50$, then had it painted for 40$.

I've had a black Stull for the last five years, absolute quality. I think it has 9 extruded metal bars on it, powdercoated.
