    Thx. yea it comes in handy when you're trying to mod your car and youre not sure what direction to go. I saved the layers and now I can quick change colors to get a feel of what it would look like. PS is the bomb, no doubt.

    This looks good! I think ditch the TRD but that’s just my opinion, looks cleaner.

    Have you tried all black grille with color matched TOYOTA letters. I know its not something new, as I have seen a few with PRO grilles paint the letters, but sometimes the simple things make the best things.
    I would like to see all black grille with color matched TRD in the center.

    Grille can definitely be recessed and maintain the TSS(and pretty low pro TSS at that).....have a mock up I'll post when I get home tomorrow night and take a pic.

    There’s a “new” grill out that is more open face and a guy by taco vinyl on Etsy and Instagram is selling. You can get the grill itself on eBay for 110 shipped without a bracket to mount a tss sensor. The design is more raptor oriented but look loads better than a pro grill in my opinion.
    I purchased one and made a bracket to house the sensor. I have yet to reprogram the sensor to the new height but I have not had any issues yet. If I do I’ll program it since I’m a Toyota tech . I’ll try figuring out how to upload a picture

    Something, but not " like". At first I was "like a rock star" but then I did a double take "WTF?". Looks great but somebody's got a seriously split personality.

    I wish someone made an adapter to move the TSS under the grille just around where the bumpers vent is. It would free up the grill options.

    I think that looks really good. I like the “one off” look.

    I personally don’t like most after market grills, because they scream after market

    AF5E9465-5B92-427A-B271-5A281674E30D.jpg This is what it look like on my 18. Sensor bracket was painted satin black along with the grill to match the bumper. It disappears which is what I like. 6B31C580-7447-40B4-8A93-26DF7937287B.jpg This was before the bumper and paint
