He just took the brunt of the storm when the grills turned out to be bad. He saw my car and stopped over to say hi and to chat. He told me the time table, on when KSR will have the new version of the grills. From the estimations, it should be available middle to end of August. The company is a little behind. He wanted me to post this, as he has been extremely busy with family (his wife just had their 1st child on the 31st of May) Needless to say, with his business, and the new addition to the family, he is overwelmed.
Now about returns for new grills. HE WILL HONOR a return of the old grill when the new ones become available. He will (from my understanding) have a list of how many new grills he will need to fill replacement orders, and thats all he will get. I don't think he will get any more to actually sell. He just wants to make everyone who got the 1st versions to be happy. He took alot of crap, for only being a seller, and not the actual manufacturer. If you did buy his grill off ebay, you can always email his ebay account. He will get back to you if you have any questions. He's a good guy, and I'll stand up for him, so just give it time, and for the new product to come out. Hope this helps you all out.

I was simply asking if anyone had contacted him, and if anyone thought that he was going to let people know when they arrive or if it was going to be up to us to keep up with having the defective pieces replaced. And I don't think I was off base by too much when I say that Butch seemed rather annoyed with KSR's statement of returning the grills when the new ones arrive after he had already posted saying return them immediately.

Update
I just got back from KSR for test fitting thier new grill. Let me tell you it looks AWESOME. The warpage is gone and the quality looks OEM. The fit is great. Also no warpage on the botton. It is actually tighter that the stock grill. The only thing I need to do is get a wiring harness to extend the fog lamps. Nelson said that they will probably supply a harness with the grills when they come out though. One thing about Nelson and that company is they are deff top notch. They dont want to rush the grill out because they want it to be perfect, thats why the delay so far. Hopefully the new grills will be here in August so lets hang in there. I'm just lucky to have mine early.

Yeah. I like the OEM look of the KSR. It's a decent alternative though.
That new one is from this site:
http://www.classictoyshop.org/
No prices given but he has some decent hoods and ducktail spoilers. I tried emailing for curiosity but could not get through. I will try phoning today. They are in Florida so not really an option.

It looks like all they do is custom work. Not production. That's why they would not be viable for me (they are in Orlando).
Although I would guess the grille is probably in production somewhere.

Looking at their grille you can tell all they did was cut out the old honeycomb and the fog light holes and then put that grille in their. Other than the screen, it looks like a backyard modification, IMO.
In this close-up you can see where they cut the foglight sections out of the "frame".

It's not so much a good eye as it is me trying to make my own grille that doesn't have fog lights. I've spent many hours staring at GT grilles. 
I can understand the U shaped cutout where the fog light bezels were. (they're actually bigger than the "frame") but the area just the the left of that cutout looks sloppy. There's no reason for it to not be straight.
