Question Need help to ID Grill Inserts

I was combing the internet yesterday, looking for an unrelated item, when these grill inserts caught my eye.

Black Diamond Fabrication. They are no longer around to my knowledge. I'd LOVE to get a set of these but no dice.

Not 100% sure but I think BDF became part of Rigid lighting some kind of way

Black Diamond Fab used to make them. BDF also used to make Rigid mounts under the RI name.

BDF no longer makes those JK inserts...and they were like $500 when they came out. All stainless pressed sheet and powdercoated. When BDF stop making them, Northridge began producing them without the stainless rivets on the surrounds, still around $400. They weren't selling much either, so they've been discontinued.

RI is back to making Jeep grills, and they'll fit about a 20" E-Series LED light, but you'll have to remove your front 7 slats...and then, honestly, is it even a jeep anymore? Might as well have square headlights.

500 bones! Yikes. Even if I could get a hold of a set, wouldn't be interested at that price!

Yeah, I loved the look of them but that price tag was just insane.
