    Actually, relatively few people have satoshies. But I agree that many have the BHLM and it might be a little overdone. I like the non- recessed ( grillcraft type ) as it leaves alot more room for lights behind the grille.

    I dont think the recessed grill is overplayed. I joined TW last year and have yet to see a Satoshi type grill out on the streets. I have seen the BHLM a few times but thats only because you can get those off of ebay. That and I guess it depends on where you live too. Not to many TW members in Salt Lake City or Elko County. Now I do agree that a lot of people have the recessed grill and BHLM on TW, but come on, theres thousands more Tacomas out there that arent on this website you know?:eek::eek: Its only most of us that have the mod because we're the only ones that know about it mostly!!!

    ^you, my friend need a color matched grill!

    I have to say I like the clean look of a Grille Craft over a satoshi...especially with hella's behind it!
