Saleen or Cragar grill

I love the look of these grills and I really want to get one. Problem is that I can't find them ANYWHERE. Does anyone know where I can find these grills for sale? Sorry if this is addressed somewhere else, but I truly did use the search function to no avail. Just a lot about group purchases. Thanks

I bought mine directly from Saleen, go to thier website and call the 800#. I also think a member on here "Fomoco" is still selling them for a good price.

I went on Saleen's website. It looks like they completely revamped their website. It doesn't even mention the S331 anywhere. I guess I could go ahead and try to call 'em.

Almost exactly like the Saleen grill. Google Cragar F150 and there should be some pics. I think it has 3 vertical bars, vice 2 for the Saleen. Virtually almost the same though.
Sick truck by the way Blackout!

The Cragar grille has one extra horizontal bar (six vs. five) than the Saleen. I like the look of the Cragar grille better, but have never actually seen anyone that has them for sale -- I only see the Saleen's around.

So I called them and they have them. 244 shipped. I also found out that they are only an insert. Not the entire surround etc. uuugh I guess my bad for not knowing that.

You can use the parts off of your OEM grill and put them onto the Saleen.

I'm in the process of getting all the chrome off my truck and I thought I might be getting two birds with one stone. Did you have to cut anything on your grill to fit it or was it a straight bolt on deal?

everything bolts up, you will re-use the grill surround and brackets that mount to the hood and you're good to go. I assume you have a chrome grill surround?

I would suggest sanding down the chrome with a red Scotch Brite pad and painting a few coats with the Fusion as a base and then put a few top coats of Duplicolor satin black. The Fusion has great adhesion to plastic but doesn't hold up to the elements like the Duplicolor does. I know from experience, I have been slowly repainting everything on my truck with Duplicolor because the Fusion starts to get a white layer on the top from the sun.

Decisions, decisions, green or black. I'm not sure, i'm gonna have to look around for some pics to get an idea of the possible looks. Any ideas on how much it might cost to have it done professionally PTM'd? Both would look good in my opinion though. I'm definitely going to get the Saleen grill though, probably tomorrow at work.
