    Some of the Satoshi's are cool. I have a stock grille that's painted to match, even the cross members with a black emblem. Love the body shops screw up

    I like the looks of them. Will I put one on my truck? Nope. Costs too much and I'd rather do other mods 1st.
    I also have a rule that says I will only do performance/function based mods to my truck. If it's for looks it doesn't happen.

    The Santoshi does keep bugs and rocks from hitting the radiator but there's probably a cheaper easier solution.

    I figured there were a few... but only a few. :)

    I'm not against them, just wouldn't own one myself these days (maybe I've gotten "old" on the appearance mods). They look neat.

    I highly doubt this thread will have a negative impact on anyone's grill business. If someone does a poll (if one hasn't already been done), I'm betting it'll be overwhelmingly in favor of the mod. Maybe not as overwhelming as a chrome/no chrome poll...

    :cheers:

    Just ordered my grillcraft last night as well as the toytota FJ emblem. Think I might move my KC daylighters to behind the grille and possibly remove the bull bar not sure on that yet though

    I like many of the satoshi grills that I have seen on this forum. I Already had back lighting installed on my factory grill which is why I went with the T-Rex Grill inserts instead.

    Agreed.

    Now to sell my bull bar for that stealth winch mount with shackles and get some rock sliders and I'll be happy.

    The OG is rite here... I don't really care about a poll... They're popular on the forum but think of how many tacomas you see on a daily basis... Now think how many have a satoshi??? Just not my thing but you gotta respect people for trying to stand out...

    You should probably start a thread about "WHO DOESN'T LIKE _______" (sic) every other modification...

    Lifts, tires, stereos, wheels, etc.

    Am I the only person who doesn't like people who feel the need to start a thread to voice their disliking of other peoples mod's.
