Not so fast, Chris. So far I can neither confirm nor deny that the grille is
discontinued. They are backordered, but that is not at all uncommon for
South African products, which may go on backorder for months at a time. (In
fact I have seen South African backorders last as long as a year and then
all the sudden all the backorders get filled.)  Unlike some other vendors,
who get these from a U.S, source that I have not always found to be
reliable, I import them myself (hence the lower price).  So far, my source
has NOT stated that the grilles are discontinued at the factory. In fact
they emailed me just a few weeks ago to ask how many I needed for this
summer. Of course they could always email me at any time to give me bad
news. But until then, I have to consider them backordered rather than
discontinued. As soon as I hear something definitive from a reliable source,
one way or the other, I'll pass it on.
