    I am looking to get an aftermarket grille for my truck.. not sure which one I want as there are so many. Please share your opinion and upload your pictures!

    Below are the two grilles that have caught my eye to this point, along with a picture of my truck. EE84785A-8CBB-4459-A864-AFE05F1D4AEF.jpgD3B87518-3976-4BE5-987E-A6DB26213804.jpgFC773ABE-24AB-4753-8A14-3342137F0B92.jpg

    This is my most recent pic. The grill itself has held up for the last couple years and I like it. Hope this helps you some.DE36553B-DEEF-4329-B41F-1B53939DB367.jpg

    Looks good with the matching fender flares. Are the “TOYOTA” letters removable?

    Yessir. They came in a bag with some screws to attach them to the grill when it was shipped to me.

    Nice looking grille. Did you just take your old emblem off and put it on this one?

    Yes, it's a paramount grille from CarID. I painted the chrome emblem black and epoxied it to the grille, after I centered it on there.

    oh man, I like that a lot. Any issues/complications? Also, do you think it would be hard to find “Toyota” or “Tacoma” letters like the other grill and get them to stay on?

    I had to tap the lights into a fuse to get them working. But I did it with my marker lights to be able to turn them off. And they make letter kits that will stay

    I see. I believe if I get this grill I will wire the left to left DRL so that it will blink with blinker, right to right DRL, and middle to parking so that it doesn’t blink. This could be a problem if the lights come on one circuit
