    I cut some wires here. Added some wires there.
    I voted pretty cool but I think with different mesh it would be hands down kick ass. I'm going to go back and read the middle pages to see what I missed before I start asking questions but I'm interested.

    That would suck to spend all that time on that and hit a deer or a big ass bird. I didn't like it at first, but everytime I look at it I like it more, I'd like to see it on the truck!

    :cool:UPDATED OP ------>
    So my insert GB was almost a total FAIL. I say Almost because I have at least been able to supply at a good price the Mesh to complete the project to a few fellow members...
    My latest endeavor is this. A Satoshi-Like Mesh insert that uses the same contour as the stock grille.
    [​IMG]
    The idea here is to be able to eliminate the time consuming Bondo/Fiberglass process for the typical Satoshi Mod...
    Here is a close up of the different size mesh I used as compared to the "Mesh #1" I have in my for sale thread.
    [​IMG]
    At this point I'm not offering this for sale... Very labor intensive and I would not even know where to start with a price.
    Just looking for feedback from fellow TW members.
    Thanks!:D

    **EDIT**

    Per popular request, here is a shot of this new Mesh fitted in Boyds Busted up surround...
    [​IMG]

    And now painted Black:

    And now all together again.....:D

    Honestly, I wasn't a fan at first. But now, seeing it actually installed, I think it looks AWESOME!!

    I have to admit, Craig, I didn't like it when I first saw it. Now that you have it painted black and installed, It's really a nice option. Nice work.

    Will the old school T O Y O T A letters fit in the middle? I'm pretty much sold already but if they do I'm in. Can you measure that part for me?

    The middle "indent" is tapered slightly... 1 3/8" in the back and 1 1/2" at the front where it bends & then curves back...
    Hope that helps... :notsure:

    I still really think you should contact toyota about this design. This would be a badass option for the TRD sport or limited models.

    Thanks, but I'd rather keep the idea here on TW...
    If they are hooked up from the stealership how would they be special?
    I've worked at car dealerships in the past... Selling to them is a dead end. I think Shannon had some limited success with his light up 4x4 switch though...:confused:
