Default grill mate?

does anyone know where to buy the center grill (replaces the licence plate bracket) for a 78? Ecklers used to carry them, but I haven't seen them for a few years. Thanks

I think they've been discontinued.

Finding a used or NOS one will be your only option.

Corresponded not to many months ago with the company's owner who made them, and I'm sorry to confirm that the version that fits pre-80's C3's was discontinued some years ago. I've had one on my shark for ages, and IMHO it was a very cool accessory.
