    I finally installed my raptor grill! I was a time consuming project but got it done!. I bought a OE grill from eBay, cut it, bondo'd it, sanded, then got it professional painted. Bought the raptor grill and led's from bpfabricating and think it came out great. Let me know what you think?

    Overall it looks nice. The grill / color matched surround looks good. Personally I would ditch the LEDs though. I think those 3 small LEDs look lost in that grill.

    The Grill looks nice! :thumbsup:

    He could always just light up the entire grill instead. :D

    Wow, those really are bright!

    I have several LED strips mounted on the back side of the grill facing the radiator. I also have a single row of 30 LEDs in the hood scoop.

    I'm surprised how bright those are. Looks dramatically different than your day pic. I was going to suggest that you put a line of LEDs in the recesses above, and below the "Tacoma", but seeing your night pic, that may be too much. That looks good.
