    Well I just got my 06 TRD Sport 3 weeks ago and did my first mod. Unlike alot of people on the boards I just don't really like the looks of the satoushi grills so I just went with a plain Grillcraft MX in black. I know its not much compared to what some of you guys are doing to their rigs, but just thought I'd share anyway.

    Looks great! I'm glad you went with the upper "and" lower grills. Most people just get the upper grill. I remember when I installed the lower grill on mine, had to take off the whole friggin bumper!:eek::D Truck looked cool though with the front bumper off!!:cool:

    Wasn't hard at all, You have to remove the whole bumper cover as stated above, but it sounds a lot worse than it actually was. You also have to cut the inside of the OEM grill out with a sawzall or dremel, but again sounds worse than it really is.


    I was going to black out the headlights but I'm throwing the idea of putting some good HID lamps in there.
