I bought my '06 DC TRD Sport with the billit grill. It looks good. I do not think I would replace the original gril with this one, but since it came with the truck, I like it. It is distinguishing and bold. JMHO. Nice to have something different that the run-of-the-mill taco grill!!

BUILT, not bought...

heres my suggestion bro.

When you get your color matched grill surround, paint the Chrome mesh black, and re-attach the shiny devil horns emblem.

Neon, thats one of the things I really like about these trucks. You can change the look when you feel like it and not spend a fortune doing it. I like the idea of color matching it, but don't get rid of the chrome, you might decide to put it back on someday.
