Where to find this grille?

I've always liked the Land Cruiser inspired grilles and have been wanting to change my factory grille to one like this one with the Toyota lettering. Unfortunately, I can't find one I like; lots of them have very small mesh or huge contemporary looking lettering. Where can I find one like this with large honeycomb mesh and classic looking lettering?

 

@HomerTaco makes them

 

Sweet; I'll message him, thanks!

 

could always make it yourself as well.

 

Regardless of where you get the grill, you'll have to order the emblem separately.

Here's a link:

So I looked up HomerTaco's offers and his grilles start at $600, plus lettering, which is more than I'm willing to spend on a radiator grille. His deals do include a body-coloured bezel though, so I guess that's a fair price

That's true, and I'm now seriously considering it; even if I don't cut the mesh into a taco grille shape myself, depending on where I get the grille, I'll most likely end up having to trim the bezel and install the grille in there myself, so might as well go all the way.

 

They do make a nice grille with an oem Toyota emblem, thank you! I was looking for a bigger hex-shape mesh but I'm starting to take a liking in their product

 

Thank you! It didn't occur to me I could get oem lettering from toyota. I guess this is off an FJ cruiser?

There are for sure third party sellers that do offer custom grilles with "Toyota" lettering.

 

Here's one for sale https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/for-sale-satoshi-grill-white-long-beach-ca.471134/

 

Haha, cool story; you really are a tacomaniac. Please post your pictures here when it's done; I can't wait to see it. I guess it'll be a little bit of work trimming the bezel. Have you figured out how you'll make the grille hold in there yet?

 

Sweet! Thanks, I'll consider it.

 

I'm also considering this grille, made by DB Customs. It is way more contemporary than what I was looking for, but I like the look of it. Their online store is a bit unclear, but I think I can get the same one that says TOYOTA instead of TACOMA.

 

That's sweet.

 

Those are some sweet looking grills.

 

It's the FJ emblem.

Not sure what style you were looking at (I know his Raptor style goes for more), but the standard meshes with color matched surround (for an '05-'11) go for ~$315. It sounds like your going for another option either way, but wanted to clarify for other members.

That's what I paid for this one:

The product is top notch. The down side is the wait. I've heard his list described as "Robust". The combination of their popularity, and the fact that he does them all himself in his spare time, means you could be waiting close to a year for it. For anyone considering it, get yourself on the list now.

 

There's one for sale in the buy and sell page

 

x2 .. he makes a great product

This is the Toyota emblem if you get it separately. I cut the letters out so they weren't connected, then painted them.

I used to have the fj emblem on, but I found a member on here named @Dozer who makes cnc Tacoma letters to use. He powdercoated them white for me and I love the look. I went the route of getting a metal mesh insert grill by metal craft on Amazon for 191 and did the conversion myself. If you have a dremel it takes about 20 min.
