They are difficult to find for sure. But they are out there... Is money an option? I wont let it go for cheap, looking at perhaps $550 to $600. Do not really even want to sell it at all. But it is a spare I have had for a while and if the price is right I may choose to let go of it. Then perhaps a person would have a template for having more made to sell and recoup the purchase price. And you never really know if and when another one shows up.

Damn that's steep just for a grill piece 😅 ..cause of the rarity huh? What company used to make these? SLP? They have a website?
I'm sorry, but I have it should the Monte have a front end collision which damaged the current SLP grille. Then there would be a replacement grille available. So in one way yes the high sale price because of the rarity as I could never get another just as you are experiencing. Hence I don't want to give it up at a low $ amount only to kick myself in the butt later should it be needed.
I have a friend who water jets and after looking at the grille for reproduction believes he could do most of it on aluminum, then I would need to take it to a CNC shop to fine tune it, clean it up. His price was $150, then I do not know what a CNC shop would charge, but already the price is getting up there. So I stopped pursuing it. There is a laser shop close by, perhaps they could do it all in house as they cut and bend metal. it is hard to tell but these are angled and curved, plus the mesh styling is angled diamonds , kind of a complicated piece. Then there are copy right laws to be concerned with too. I feel your pain as this is frustrating even for me, but that is why I really do not want to sell it, EXTREMELY hard to find another.
