    Many Thanks to TY for fixing my broken SATOSHI.

    I had my previous SATOSHI done that was no where near his workman ship. He fixed it and actually did it 10x better than it was before. Its completely smooth and exact.

    I just had to say THANKS and show his work for some locals.

    I know he is working on a few other local TW
    Grilles.

    doubt it. air comin into the stock grille or the satoshi has to be stopped somewhere creating resistance, weather it be at the grille or at the rad/engine shouldn't matter imo. thats how i see it

    to OP, what material is that and where did you get it? would it work well for visibility with lights behind it? and how was the old one broken?

    super clean bro!! great job!

    ^LMAO Andre

    The Grille MESH is very nice metal and not that cheap ricer stuff. Completes the SATOSHI imho.

    I've had a few grilles in the past and the SATOSHI color matched. I can't get over how perfect his work was.

    I'm sure Andre, Noe, & Chris can vouch on it. I've gotten a few compliments from people who don't even know what it is.

    Simply Great work.

    TY does his with fiberglass & bondo. He likes to keep it Old Skoooool!

    However he has all the expensive TOOLS to make it perfect and clean. I made a complete mess on my first one and you could see flaws here and there on it.
