Different Grille Options

I'm wanting to do something with my grille on my 2013. To me it almost looks cheap. I asked a guy at the dealership and he said if I want to change it I would have to cut it out. (And not sure I wanna do all that) Anyone change theirs?

Suggestions? Comments? Experience?

 

It just unclips. No cutting required. Many people swap in mesh grills. I like the Pro grill but not the price.

I like the TRD Pro Grille too except for the price.

 

I almost said $269.00 isn't a bad price, considering they started at $500.00. Then I noticed it was for a Tundra.

http://trdshop.com/products/ptr54-35150 Is the correct link. Definitely wouldn't spend $409.00

Check these out. They're pretty high in price as well. They look really good though In my opinion.

Still not sure the installation either.

You do have to cut out the center section of the grill to put in the mesh style grills. Unless you buy one that someone has already done and is ready to just install on your truck

 

I think if I do anything it will be the whole thing. Not just the inside part. I just watched a video and it looks like a mess installing the mesh styles.

 

Thanks for the correction! The inserts are supposed to snap out by carefully using a screwdriver.

Those look to replace the entire grill surround. Very easy to do, I did mine in 10 minutes swapping from chrome TRD to color matched.

 

DIY satoshi:

 

I have a GrillCraft mesh grill and you do have to cut out the majority of the center of the grill to install it.I bought another color matched grill in order to keep my original grill in case i wanted to swap them out on occasion.I like my GrillCraft a lot but they're overpriced in my opinion.

 

The Grillcraft Mesh for the Tacoma starts at $309?

Customcargrills.com, got mine for $50 plus shipping. Plenty of money left over to buy a Dremel to cut the surround. A little scary at first but just follow the video on the custom car grill site, cant go wrong.

 

I was gonna say!!! I been seeing them all day at 390ish, I was gonna pull out the CC LOL

 

Score! I know where I'll be ordering mine from.

 

I will definately to the whole thing then.
No cutting for the mesh style for me.

Thanks for all the replys!

 

Bump for the TRD Pro Grille, just got mine delivered yesterday, can't wait to get it on the truck!

 

My facelift.

 

You should get a grill made by @HomerTaco

Dude makes some good looking grills, is active here on TacomaWorld too.

 

I'd love to but he isn't selling a 2012 satoshi yet right? I would gladly pay the $500 for that, not the pro though :/

 

No Satoshi kit for 12+. However he does have a "Ghost Raptor" DIY grille kit for 12+.
