    Hey everyone,

    Here at ECG Fabrication we've designed a new recessed mesh insert for the 2016-2017 Tacomas. The frame is 16 gauge steel, CNC laser cut and formed. The mesh is 14 gauge aluminum, bolted to the frame and everything is powder coated matte black (slight texture).

    Installation requires some cutting and drilling to the stock grille, and then the insert will bolt in. We are offering this insert for free in return for installed photos - a $100 deposit will be required via PayPal, which will be immediately refunded once we receive the installed pics.






    Please PM or email at ecgfabrication@gmail.com if interested!

    That looks awesome - Good work OP! Might be way too early to start posing questions like these but any idea when these might be available for purchase or what the price range might be?
