    I got it at www.billetanything.com . It was the cheapest that I could find on the net, at $159.99.
    I got the TRD emblem from ebay, as a set of the big one thats on the grill and a small one, that I havent found a place for yet.

    Yea its an toyota skid plate. I like the look of it over the budbuilt, etc. I dont plan on doing any heavy offroading, so I think I will be good. Besides I think with the grill it gives the front a meaner look.
    I got that off of ebay and it came directly from a toyota dealer. I believe it was $159+ ship

    Nope. He only had a contract with Toyota to sell them to a certain date. I missed out. Toyota will RAPE you if they find you're doin anything without their permission. So once that date came, that was it. he was making BANK too. It was high quality and awesome looking. Sure wish i knew about it
