    I accidentally posted this is the wrong Forum. Okay sooo im not sure if anyone's dealt with this but I busted my grille off-roading a while ago and my billet grille popped out, I was keeping it zip tied in there but now the plastic housing snapped and broke, so my grille completely fell out. Any idea how to fix, or if they sell the housings by themselves, or if there are any billet grilles out there that come with it? Thanks!

    I installed a Billet grill on my 2002 tundra but I used brackets to hold it in place not zip ties . And I had no issues . A Billet grill IMO is too heavy for zip ties ,

    Keep your OEM surround and go Grill Craft. You have plenty of material left to do as I did if you like what I did.

    Here is a pic of what it will look like when finished:
