    Hey guys I am looking for a mesh/billet grill for my truck, that is pretty easy to install and comes with all necessary hardware and such. What are your guy's suggestions? links would be greatly appreciated. I keep looking at grills on ebay and on most of them they dont come with hardware and you have to retro fit them and stuff, i dont want any of that head ache. Thanks in advance:D!

    Some of this Some of that
    You have to 'retrofit' all first gen billet mesh grilles. You have to cut the center section out and sand it down. You could do a satoshi with generic metal mesh powder coated or painted for much cheaper. I have a grille craft and I like it but satoshis look better IMO
