Email me if you have any questions.

I'd rather not hack up my stock grill. It would be sweet if an aftermarket company made a bolt on kit.

buy an tacoma grill from a junkyard or parts website. then work that one . it's much more satisfying doing it yourself (even with some help) than buying it

Mummer, you and I must be thinking along the same plane!
I was thinking about picking up an extra grill and giving it a try. Still looking though, Ebay had one sketchy guy sell one for $140.

I'm going to be keeping my eyes open elsewhere.

Okay, I checked it out on Bob's and Satoshi's site and it looks like the "TOYOTA" is about the width of the license plate so a rough estimation would look a bit like this (forgive the quality - I don't have photoshop so I work with MS Paint)



*looks about the same Bob*

I already did it for the 4th gen about 5 months ago! I think Charles remembers that.

Yeah, FirstToy, I did see the thread, but the pic didn't show. If it isn't too much trouble, could you post it here? Sorry, I should have given you credit for posting that pic in the other thread, but I just couldn't see it so I didn't know how it would look. I'm sorry, FirstToy.

I appreciate all your help, guys!

wonder why...maybe the webshots address changed or I moved it by accident.
I have it on my truck but it's alot of work and nowhere as easy as the 3rd gen. You need some real surfacing experience.

I'll try to post it later...maybe it's in my webshots album somewhere

Hey bob, I got some pics of my deal. It's done w/ a camera phone and I'm not sure how to put pics up in the thread, so I'll have to attatch them, so forgive the double posting.
