I wouldn't say $300 is a lot. You are getting a OEM quality piece. I understand it doubled in price but it's not that bad.
Looks at it this way, 2003 Harley grills cost 600 new back in 03 and still go close to $300 USED
The billet grill i put on my 03 was $200 and not nearly the quality of the Saleen piece.
The 2012 6bar grill i just put on my truck, I paid $200 USED and $100 to paint.
Grills are one of the biggest appearance changing things you can change on a truck. $300 to me is well worth it.

I agree that boycotting is a silly idea. The price isn't outside the realm of "reasonable." Personally, $299 is too much for me to justify for my own financial situation. However, I can acknowledge that it isn't a grotesque price for the overall market.

Yup, they called and offered it to me at the lower price as well. I said yes. Not sure why they are doing this, but I'm happy about it. I hope they don't feel bad about raising the price when they originally called, because I never held that against them. Props to Saleen for following up and coming through with the lower price--very awesome of them!

I think the HD grill is sexy as could be, but $600 to me is excessive. Shoot, I paid $500 for my 20" rims and tires! The Saleen grill is nice too, and for $160 I think that's a steal. Saleen probably realized that they are selling a unique item and could sell it for double their original price, and still be half the price of Ford's HD grill. Smart move if you ask me. I like my FX2 grill I paid $150 for and another $100 to paint it... but now I'm thinking the Saleen grill may have been the better choice. Oh well

Am I the only one that purchased this a while ago that was happy they discontinued the production. It made me feel like I had something special. I am happy they are going to give it to yall for the regular price, $300 is way to much for a plastic grille.
