Black "hex-style" throwback grill source recommendations?

[KCSIII]

Wondering if anyone has ordered the throwback/Bentley style/ hex style black plastic grill for the 200 lately? I know @Markuson had a great source, as have a few others, but when I check the different sources from the previous links that have been provided, they are all out of stock and when I contact them through ebay, etc, they have no idea when/if they will replenish.

I am able to locate a few other sources on eBay, with prices ranging from $70-$200 for chrome or gloss black (which won't matter as I plan to paint it matte black to match the trim), with shipping expectations of a month-ish. Just wondering if anyone has ordered recently and had a good experience willing to offer recommendations?

Many thanks!

Can’t help on a link since I’ve got mine...

Just a thought for when you choose...
I’d suggest the black because it’s bare plastic instead of the shiny coating added for the “chrome.” Might be easier to adhere to.

3-4 years in on mine and the it could use a fresh coat of paint...but it’s not a clearing need since it’s also black under the paint. If it was chrome u see there, it would be looking pretty bad right now on mine...

Great advice, thank you Markuson. Really appreciate all you do on this forum. Wish your hook up still stocked the grill. One thing I have noticed from the other various eBay sellers located on the other side of the world is that there "appears" to be notches. Is that true for yours as well?

If by notches, you mean the raised-and-lowered pattern in the grill cross-hatch stuff...then yes.
Same. -So instead of a smooth arc as it crosses the structure, they sort of raise where the two directions cross...and indent where they don’t cross.
