GEEZ, they want over $550 for a new one right now. Can't imagine what the price is going to be next. I knew I should have ordered one long ago.

Update: I just got a fresh DC catalog in the mail yesterday. They've printed an announcement right on the page with the grill sorrounds that says they are having trouble finding the right quality of aluminum at this time, and that availablility is questionable. Of course, that's not a direct quote--but that's what it says in so many words.

List price for 78-79 grill sorround in the brand new catalog: $550 + your first born!!

I just don't understand it--they sell a whole hood for $400!
