    My grill is black; you don't really notice it which is nice. Less is more sometimes

    Found it just a few threads below this one.

    Just use a search function, you'll see just how easy it is.

    I really dig that updated grille on your rig 02blancotaco. What year model is it from and how difficult was the install?

    Thanks man I really appreciate it. The grill is off a 2016 and up trd pro Tacoma (3rd gen Tacoma)
    This is the exact one I bought, however it sold out https://roughbadger.com/products/replacement-front-bumper-grille-fit-for-2016-2020-toyota-tacoma

    just search trd pro grill and you find some in the $100 dollar range. I just cut out the factory grill and then cut the trd pro grill to fit the insert and plastic welded it together. The install took me about 5 hours, could easily be done it less time I was just moving slow. I then painted it black with plasti dip and surprisingly the finish turned out amazing. Feel free to message me with more questions, if you decide to build it.

    I didn't realize they had a sticker that'd capture in a single word my entire build and what I've worked so hard to accomplish :bowdown:
