*****Latest Update*****
They will be moving forward on making the grille!!!! :mrgreen:
*****Updated Info*****
Just talked to Trufiber, after kicking it around they will produce the grille if we get a group buy of 30 pieces. Each participant would need to make 100 deposit and it would take 3-4 months for the first prototype, I would go to the shop and test fit the piece, if and when it meets my high standards (I assure you my standards are very high) they will ok the production which would take another 2-3 months. I'm still trying to get final cost I want it to not only be a perfect piece but a reasonable price. The deposit would be none refundable unless we don't make the 30 participants of the group buy.
I have been dealing with Trufiber for many years and many have talked them into making the next best thing since sliced bread and they end up with a bunch of parts they can't sell which is why the group buy and deposit. I fully understand if the deposit and time frame is too long, at the end of the day I don't see anything on the market worth buying so I personally can and will wait for a part I know will fit and not be a turd.
I will provide more updates in the next couple of days.

Everyone keeps asking me if I would make them a grille, I have a really busy life with work and home so it would take months for me to produce just one. I have a standing relationship with Trufiber, a known manufacture of fiberglass and carbon fiber aftermarket products. On my 300 I have the hood, front lip, grille, rocker panels, side spliters, and rear wing from them, its top quality stuff.
I reached out to them to see if they would be interested in making the grille, they are open to discussions on it but would probably need a group buy on the initial run. This would ensure interest in the part so they don't spend a boat load of money on designing, mold making, and manufacturing just for it to sit on the shelf. This would be a perfect fitting part designed properly.
Would you be interested in a Fiberglass or carbon fiber shell that would replace the stock piece in the below design? (it would not have the mesh or emblem)

This is not a for sale thread or me trying to take any money simply just a thread to gauge interest before pushing down the road.
