EDM is sold out of V1 grilles again. Don't know if they'll ever offer V2's again, like they did a year ago.
Buying a V2 grille from one of the remaining Chinese sellers on eBay is really uncomfortable. They have poor reviews, haven't been around a long time, delivery can be over a month, and most of their previous sales are nickel and dime items. Some offer free shipping, and others want $250 to ship. Products all look exactly the same. Tariffs into the USA are also unknown.
Don't seem to be any acceptable options.
EMD does give you the option of entering your e-mail address to be notified when the grille is back in stock — which is what I did when they were showing zero stock. It was only a short time later that they notified me the grille was back in stock. I went on-line, placed my order and it was delivered with 7 days.

Good Luck!

Copy that, and thanks, John!
I was notified also, and the eight or ten Version 1 grilles they got back in stock were gone in a few days.
I wanted the Version 2 grille, since it seems to have fewer sensor alignment issues, and, to me, looks a bit better.

Anecdotal, but my eBay seller stonecarbon2009 immediately contacted me to confirm what car I had and confirm selection of grill color, shipped 3 days after I paid, shipping only took a week, and I got charged no custom fees to the US.

Unfortunately he isn't listed as a seller anymore. The other Chinese sellers have short histories, haven't sold any grilles it seems, and it appears they are all middle men hawking the same product. Very uncomfortable.

Yes he is. The store has a ton of car accessories for sale and if you look at his feedback there's plenty of items in the $hundreds.
Quick update: designer has done the initial quick rough print for fitment testing (final print will look much cleaner).
Several adjustments are required:
1) camera lens needs to hit the front edge of the channel
2) the camera channel needs to move up closer to the bottom of the logo
3) I have also asked if he can extend the bracket so that it can be secured to the two screw holes behind the logo (see last pic), similar to how the OE bracket is fastened (vs. glue and epoxy)
All in all looks good for a test print. The piece at the back is the OE rear bracket that I will reuse. Getting there!
Hey guys, just wondering how long it takes for you to swap out grilles and is it a PITA? I might get the BO S5 grille from eBay but my local wrap shop is quoting $350cad (85/hr) for the grille install. Thoughts?

Well, that works out to about 4.5 hours so that’s pretty realistic — but don’t forget to slow time to paint your bumper plate black.
Stock Silver Painted Black
Make sure they black that out or your grille will look odd.
