FS: 3rd Gen 2016-23 (W/ TSS Bracket) Tacoma Grill Mesh - New Hood, Headlight, Fog Light Pieces too!

Is your setup perf SS flat black powder coat, installed on OEM black bezel or did you plastidip your bezel?

 

Matt@CCG Is it time for another 15% discount for April?

 

I wish I could, but costs on almost everything have gone up since that post. We're also currently at a shortage on material. I've only got a handful of the flat black Perf SS pieces on hand, when they run out we'll likely be out of stock on those for a week or two. I've got a delivery of raw material coming this week but it'll take a little while to wash, cut, & coat the first new batch from it.

--------------------------------

A few of the remaining flat black perf SS pieces have been used on the new flat black bezels. They're coming out real good.

 

That flat black looks good, I'll be ordering very soon, discount or no discount haha thanks

 

There is still a discount, it's just not 15%. All the info on that is on page 1.

 

How much does that setup run?

 

The retail price on that exact setup is $479 +shipping.

 

This I like...would like it for a 2nd gen 2013

 

Out of Flat Black Perf SS material. Back ordering is available on our website, and I hope to have more of the raw material in soon.

 

I just finished my install of this grill. I installed mine a little different and wanted to detail my experience incase anyone else likes it. I loved the look with the Tacoma font letters. However, I wanted them to stand out a little more. I bought 1/8" nylon spacers and used them to separate the letters from the grill a little bit. I am happy with the way it turned out.

I glued the spacers on the back side of the letters. I made sure to pay close attention to which side of the letters looked best. I used at least 5 spacers per letter. I figured that would be enough contact points.






I marked out where I wanted the letters using painter's masking tape. I applied a small bead of glue on the spacer and pressed it into place. I looked for black spacers, but could not find them in the size I wanted. I did end up using a permanent marker to color them black. They probably won't be visible anyway, but if I know they are there it will bother me.



Once dry, I turned the grill over. I then applied more glue to the spacers as well as in between to ensure good coverage. After drying, I would be more likely to bend a letter than pry it off. The automotive goop recommended by @customcargrills was great stuff.

 

I do like the look of the extra spacing, that's quite slick looking. That might be cutting it close on adhesive coverage to hold it on. If you run into any problems with them staying on, I have a similar but different idea that might work.

 

Should have some of the Perf SS mesh washed and ready to cut in the next few days. There's a bunch of back-orders from the past few days since it's gone out of stock. For those waiting, don't for get that the Small Perf is very similar if you need something sooner. Got this Small Perf install pic in today, and it's lookin real good.

 

If I were to give this away for free*, would anyone here put this on their truck and use it?

*would require a refundable deposit

 

Just brought home a quicksand SR5...I might be game.

 

Ok, I'll PM u know when I get it back (hopefully this upcoming week).

 

Nah...I'll pass. Its really not for me...and I know you want some real world R&D.

 

How much is a grill like that minus the spikes for a 2008 taco?I want to add light bars behind my grill

 

I'd like the pm with more detail. May be interested. Have a 16 dbl cab off road black.

 

Thanks Custom Grills
