    I love mine. It took me a little more than an hour to install. I cringed about cutting out the center of my grill, but it wasn't bad. I also move the horns out of view. (found a thread showing how to remount them on the upper radiator bolts.) Very pleased with the results.

    Where did you get the TOYOTA emblem? I tried searching on Ebay and found nothing.

    the grillcraft mx sits flush against the front of the grill and bumper...1 hour to remove the bumper and grill (this should also include cutting center of stock grille and bumper)...

    now if you do the Satoshi (RGM and RBM) Mod like I did...it'll take a lot longer...but way more worth it in the end...IMHO...why be like everyone else...put a little extra work into it and be 1 of the few...

    I noticed you have a lower grill too. Is that also a Grille Craft product or is it custom?

    its the Grillcraft MX Lower...got it from my buddy Glen who owns Totally Twisted Creations...its technically custom cause the grillcraft mx is made to sit flush on the front of the grille and bumper...I just did the satoshi (RGM &RBM) mods to make it look like that...:D
