    I've yet to find a 2012 color-matched grille... but whenever I do I'll rig up the TOYOTA emblem. It's still sitting here on my desk :(

    Since the FJ emblem has to be purchased with the grille (according to the parts guy), how is everyone sourcing those--wrecked trucks?

    I would like a color matched grill if I could find a color matched back bumper. Would look retarded to have everything color matched and a chrome bumper.

    Toyota parts barn is where I got my colormatch grille from. I really love the TOYOTA look and the old fj40 4WheelDrive emblem! I have gotten lots of comments and good looks.

    Here is what my setup looks like :)

    and if you are wanting the chrome around the grill painted to match like i did. i just had a paint shop paint and blend mine and he did the two emblems and grill for $90 out the door and it looks just like factory trd with the color match grille

    That grill looks amazing. When you ordered your color matched grill, where did you get that honey comb stuff at? I want to do a similar set up.

    I got the colormatched grille from toyota parts barn. The mesh is a grillcraft insert. The Toyota emblem is from toyota parts zone. I have an extra 2012 chrome grill that is brand new if anyone wants it.

    I've been talking to SconnieHailer about his grill too. It's badass. However, the TOYOTA emblem only comes in white. My truck is black. My grill is chrome. Would that be too many colors up front? Does anyone have a pic of this setup?
