Default Saleen Grill back in stock!!!

Well never in my right mind did I think I would pay $300 for a damn grill but I just love the saleen one. Obviously the price hike and availability has pissed most people off but its just too good to pass up. I contacted Saleen at the beginning of this month and they told me 2-3 weeks and they would be in stock. Well they kept their word and they are in!!! Not sure how many but I put my order in immediately (today). And guess what, I just got a tracking number.........

Just wanted to throw this out there for those who really want this and are willing to pay the steep price!

Cheers!!!

I just can't bring myself to tossing out that much money on a grille; other than ones self, not too many folks are going to oogle over the appearance of a grille. For me, its gotta give me 'function', and at a good 'cost to function' ratio.

I want a honeycomb grill for my STX; not because of its appearance, but rather it allows a larger area for front air to get to the radiator/AC condensor.

But they are 70 to 90 bucks used, and that keeps me from buying one.

Yah I hear you. I still cannot believe I'm spending this much on a grill. Although if a grill is unique enough it will definitely draw attention. I have yet to find any knockoffs or other brand name grill's that even come close to this one.

You make a good point on the flow aspect, I didn't really think of that. Although I cant imagine the saleen grill flowing any worse the the H bar one I have now. I could see honeycomb being the best in that regard.

Someone should make a knockoff since saleen will be out of business soon just based on all of there financial troubles in the last few years. $300 is ridiculous for a grill that just a year ago was only $170, it doesn't cost them more to make they just created demand by not making it and saying it will be a limited run.

Yeah, I had talked with them a couple weeks ago. Eventually talked myself into dropping the $300. Went to check out and shipping was $90. I simply said no way. Nearly $400.

I found it interesting too, that there is a guy selling used salleen grills for $500 on Craigslist too.

Default Saleen S331 Grill




After someone hit and run my truck I got the Saleen grill. Took 5 months on back order but it finally came in. I just drive around with a jacked up front end.
