grilles

Why would the ss/tc grille be 100$ cheaper?
does this seem alittle odd

i was going to by the ss lower to match my ss/sc upper but i might change my mind now!

SS/NA no longer made so it's a matter of supply and demand? If I remember right the lower grille was standard on the 07 SS/NA -- but not the SS/SC.

TC lower grille is a LOT thinner than the SS/NA grille so it's a lot less material-- that's why you need the clip/retainers to hold it in.

yes you are right about the s/sc not coming with a lower grille. Yes it did come on the ss/na. you are right.
so wouldnt you think if they didnt make a ss/na the grille would be cheaper?

They make replacement parts on cars for 10 years after a vehicle goes out of production, so its not like its "not" made anymore.

Price of a part is usually based on the engineering, production, and storage costs -- as well as an educated guess on how many they will sell. Obviously in this case the price of the TC grille is lower because the cost to engineer, produce, and store it was lower.
