    ok i'm going to be doing this to my 02 and i was wondering where you guys were getting you mesh. From lowes, home depot, or some place like that. second i want to mount some fog lights behind it, so what would you guys suggest (space wise and looks). third where in the hell are you guys getting your toyota emblems from that you're putting on?

    I got the mesh from customcargrills.com.
    Lights Im not sure for space, but hellas are a decent light for a decent price.
    Just go to toyota for the emblems or ebay has a ton.

    CustomCarGrills.com will have a WAY higher quality mesh than Lowes/Home Depot. I got mine from customcargrills.

    ok cool i'll check them out and as for wondering how to do it snakebite, just do a search on the 1st gen forum for Satoshi grill and there are a million write ups. plus it's not that difficult if to just think you way through it.

    yeah i dont have the satoshi grill yet but I think it might be my next big buy. My buddy always used to refer to my truck as "yota" so I might cut out the first 3 letters and put that on my grill when the time comes.

    well at least it makes sense now because I went to school in maine and my buddy grew up outside of Bath so now I know why he always said yota.
