I wouldn't say scam. It's just one or two guys producing stuff in their garage though. So I wouldn't be surprised if they run into supply issues, especially producing things only as orders come in. I...

I did the same and prefer the look myself. Weird grille pieces hermetically sealed behind clear plastic is one of the most bizarre details ever affixed to an automobile.
