    I think a color matched grill with the emblem blacked out would look better thana satoishi. Your truck though. :cool:

    I voted no. Personally, on a first gen, I think a blacked out grille looks better. $35 from partsgeek.

    what you've already got looks great. If you want a satoshi, don't cut up the stock grille. Keep it because you might end up going back to it.

    Do eeeet! (I think it'd look awesome!) But keep the stock one if at all possible in case you decide you don't like the satoshi.

    I just re-did my Satoshi. Kinda went for a "ghost" toyota logo. Not sure about it... What are your guys' opinions?
