    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Okay so I've been getting a lot of requests for a 2nd Gen recessed grille So I'm putting up a feeler to see how much interest there really is for these.

    They would be for 2012 to 2015 trucks we would need a minimum of 50 people willing to buy to design the grille. Not too sure with the retail price will be on them without the design but for the group buy they would be in the $375 to $400 range shipped.
    This will be a feeler list to see if we can get the interest to justify the R&D of making one.

    Once the list hits 50 we will start the design process. Once designed we will start fabrication and taking the orders. No funds will be needed until fabrication starts as it could take months to get it designed to my liking.

    If you haven't seen our 3rd gen grille here is what it will be based off just smaller.

    I would 100% be down for one in the '05-'11' size. I saw'12-'15 mentioned in OP, but I see I'm not the only one thinking about this. I know it'll look different than the 3rd Gen's, but assuming the overall design stays the same, I'm in. Have been interested in a replacement design for my '07 grille (ugly.... UGLY!) and am disappointed at most other options. I've already been through a few iterations of:

    -OoOhHh nice grille! Who makes this? BAMF, cool.
    -Go to BAMF site. Not yet made for '05-'11. FML.
    -Forget after a few weeks.
    -Repeat.

    The only other option I've entertained is buying the '11 (honeycomb) OEM grille, but I wouldn't spend the money on that minor of a difference unless I "accidentally" break the one I've got now. ;)
