    Will this one be $600U lol. Bamf is no question a SWEET grill, but at $500, that doesn't even take into consider the shipping and currency of us poor Canadian suckers! Really hard to justify for purely based solely on looks!

    Installed the E&G billet grill yesterday ($308). Similar to the TRex grill, the E&G has nearly twice as many slats and tends to hide the radiator and hoses a bit better in my opinion.
    That's the upside. The downside was waiting 6 weeks to receive it and then finding the fit wasn't all that great. After a little bit of bending metal tabs, I got it to align, but the OEM screws were too short. Quick trip to the hardware store for longer screws did the trick. Despite the running around, it was still a pretty easy install taking about 1.5hrs. The grill is designed with an insert for the Toyota logo, unlike the TRex where it can be optional.

    Next will be the SSO slimline bumper, winch and light bar when they arrive, which I think will compliment the new grill nicely.

    Added a few new styles to our line-up...We've come up with a way to back-lit an custom made waterproof Led strip surrounding the water-jetted glass...:)

    I'm waiting on my new trex grille to come in the mail tomorrow (fingers crossed) you could say that I'm excited/ ready for it to arrive

    I'm not a big fan of the chrome Trd grilles. They look good but I'm not that flashy. I took the bezel off and painted it matte black, can't wait to see it with the black grille.

    Just some 35% tint to match the rears and some 285/70/17 Falkens…
    Hated the "braces look" of the OEM grille. Whoever decided to put an all-chrome grille on a truck with an Off-Road package should be reassigned. This simple fix cost me $35.

    Looks great. Interested in what the black ones would look like. Can you take a head on picture further back?

    Only reason I didn't go for all black was the lack of depth. I've seen the derped grills and the all-black grills and it just looks like a big hole. Getting rid of that look was the whole purpose in getting a new grill. Personally, I think this one solved that problem for me.TVR_3919.jpg

    Does anyone know where I can find this grill with the TRD logo on it? Ive been looking and can not find it for sale anywhere. Did he add that TRD logo aftermarket?
