    Still waiting to hear when exactly they will be available to ship. He is still working the kinks out on the prototype and is going to come back by and test fit it after the first of the year. I am keeping track of how many people are interested in the the grille and letting him know so he knows to make enough. I will keep everyone informed as I find out more info.

    Ok, I got word back on when these will be available. He is expecting to have the style with out the signal lights available around mid Feb. of 08. He also said that they are trying to see what they can do to make one for the later models with the signal lights in the grille. He is looking for a donor grille right now to use as a template for it. I will keep everyone updated as he updates me.

    I believe the ones Joe is having made will be chrome plated

    Hmmm... So do you think the turn signal compatible ones will be made or is that up in the air, too? I'd really like to get my hands on one of these. My plastic sewer grate grill vexes me.
