    I bought a new OE (paint to match) bumper. The shop that painted it scratched it when they were delivering it back to me. Now I'm waiting for them to respray it. They should have it back to me next week, I hope.

    preferably step by step instructions with pics as I'd like to get it all in one shot, My Taco looks like it will be very similar to Silver06TRD except Im an 08 and hood scoop. Eventually put some PIA's behind the grill.

    If you're worried about destroying your grill, buy a replacement , install the Grillcraft grill on it. Pull your original grill, store for future reinstallation, and install the modified replacement. You can find a OE grill for $135 or so.
