***FEELER*** AOD TACOMA GRILLE >Group Buy<

***Think of this as a TW-wide opportunity to CRAFT YOUR DREAM GRILLE!!!!***

-------->I am expecting to offer 2010-2016 models!!

These are high-end, professional quality, off-road grilles.
They are the NOT CHEAP, FLIMSY, THIN MESH that others sell.
Constructed from high strength T 304 stainless and carbon steel.
Lettering can be customized so we are leaning toward the newer "TACOMA" font for the 16's.


This exclusive Tacoma World GB will offer a HUGE discount!
We can make adjustments and fine tune the design, options, styles, etc. based on what TW members want!!!

TW Family,

We were up early and getting at it!

Working on detailed pics for you...
This will be the "face" of your truck so we want it to look great and we want you to be super happy with it! These are not flimsy, cheap, easily dented grilles!

We will be offering 2010-2016 models!

The company I'm working with to offer this Group Buy is the major distributor for nation-wide vendors of branded custom grilles that you would pay major bucks for. They will be offering this deep discount exclusively to TW members at cost BELOW what they sell to the vendors for!!! Due to this reason, the distributor will remain anonymous in the GB.

I encourage you to look for comparable, quality custom Tacoma grilles in the market place. You will find very little options and of those, you will find cheaper quality mesh/mounting/frame/lettering materials and the pricing is higher than offered in this GB. On top of that, you'd still be required to purchase a wire harness (at $75-100) from them.

This GB will include the wire harness with the LED add-on at a price less than the competitor's price for a plain grille and no LED. The quality and durability of this GB grille is second to none.

These high-quality mounts require attachment durability and the standard tabs on the Tacoma will not hold up to much more than commuter runs with a plastic grille installed.
***The mounting system will use the original bezel and a small part of the original grille mesh itself to help create a sturdy mounting platform. This is the way most of our vendor vehicles mount the grille and they have stood the test of time, wheeling...and abuse! Our R/D section loved testing the grille during that "assignment!"
**********************************************************
Some details we have finalized:
- The Cree LED's will be 12" in the grille (LIFETIME WARRANTY details coming)
- Custom cut "T A C O M A" 3D (raised) lettering/panel gives the grille amazing depth
- Options for color paint matching and powdercoating

Some examples of the QUALITY and STYLE of work we provide:












Please expect communications/shipping notifications mainly on weekends due to the fact that I have a full-time job. These will be shipped out in waves much like other GB's. I will do my best to provide you with quick responses to questions and clarify and concerns you may have. I do ask you to contact me first should there be any problems/concerns and allow me to remedy them before taking to the forum.

I look forward to providing you with a top-quality grille and can't wait to see your pics of them installed!!
I welcome your feedback and want to create a product that you want and can be proud of.

Lead times are approximately 2-3 weeks, with week 4-5 shipping! We will strive for tighter timelines but that is the initial estimate.

A list will be established and I'm expecting to start the GB mid/end of April.
Final prices are unknown at this time as this is a FEELER but rest assured they will be a true TW discount to remain at the caliber of other GB discounts.

I will update the OP as I get a better idea of how many spots for the GB list.

 

if the center piece is color matched this would be a nice item

 

Be interested to see what it looks like with and LED cutout and perhaps blacked out bolt heads.. Or no bolt heads at all actually

 

Ditto

 

+1

 

Sir, by center piece you are referring to the "Tacoma" bar or the mesh?

I really want to make a product that YOU guys want, so that's why I'll be asking more questions.
Think of it as, "if I could build my perfect grille...".

Also, I may be making the earlier 2nd gen grille as well with LED options, so I may start a new GB with those details. I'll be sure to let you know when I do so.
Thanks for the feedback!

 

You're definitely off to a great start!

 

BUMP

 

I also think that any type of recess would be a good idea to add some dimension to the grille

 

I think you'd have to pm a moderator and have them delete the thread.

I really like the direction of this grille though. Personally, I think removing the bolt heads and adding provisions for a light bar would really dial it in

 

Does this grille replace the whole stock grille assembly (grille & bezel)?

 

Great looking grille keep up the good work.

 

Thanks sir. I really want to provide something that TW members will LOVE!

 

What would be the price range a grille that fits a 2011 taco?the Red Tacoma example in the pic that is a 2016 right ? I like the headlights.

 

I love the way this looks on the 2016! If it looks half as good on the 2015 I think I need one. I'm not totally sure I want one with the 'Tacoma' bar going across though. If I had my pick I think I would want this as the blank grille with lights, then add 'TOYOTA' letters across it like the old FJs

 

Yes that one is a 2016 painted inferno match.

 

I'm getting some schematics together to show the mounting.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep an eye out on the "likes" and suggestions and compile some mock ups. Guys, this vendor is really able to do anything. That's why I chose them. I just need to pin down the design (from your feedback). The more feedback the better!

*So far we're looking at a 12" Cree.

 

Can you send me a pic of why you're referring to?

 

#2 for a second gen as long as you offer whatever color I want in leds and grill color
