    i think they are just covering their asses by saying it needs to be professionally installed.
    by 'bolt on' i'm thinking they mean the plastic snap bolts that hold the whole thing in place. i could be wrong.
    if you ask me, i'd hope that most anyone ordering a grill from me knows the basics of removing one, but you can't assume anything.
    i'd say their stats speak well of their products....but this is the FIRST time i ever saw that grill after months of hunting and checking ebay everyday.
    must be a brand new product.


    i think it's funny we've totally jacked this thread to advertise this grill though...
    :p

    Just received an email from the guy.

    "This is a direct replacement, just remove your stock, and bolt this on using stock screws.We have black (paintable) and chrome."

    Sounds good to me =]

    I like the billet look without the chrome. I had mine Powder coated black. I think it looks a lot better.

    okay- here's three pics of it in black and one if you opted to have it painted white.
    it's a quick n dirty photoshop job, so the lines of the grill aren't exactly going to bend properly, and there's still some white in between them.

    the shop on the last one is the best, but i think the black grill looks better on the black bumper taco

    i have a feeling it would look wayyyyyyy better in person.
    if you look a few posts up at the blue one, i think that's a close feel to what it would look like with a proper paint job.

    Nice job on the ps. Would you be able to take the last pic and make the truck impulse red? I'd like to see how it looks with that grill. Anybody have any idea what brand this grill is?

    yeah, i'm thinking i like my grillcraft now.
    the horizontal lines look good on screen, but i don't think i like them on my truck.
    i just need to paint my grill surround black- it's currently that dirty pewter color.

    Anyone buy this off of ebay yet? I am very eager to see how it looks installed and also how the quality is. Please post pics if anybody pulled the trigger on this grill.

    Thanks!!
