    The emblem is a separate purchase and must be modified to make fit. Basically grind off mounting points on back to make emblem flush, then drill (2) 3/16" dia holes to accommodate extra screws that come with the Grillcraft grill. Install was not too bad. Cutting the old grill out was the biggest job.

    The grill was $169. The TOYOTA emblem was about $45

    I wouldn't have understand unless you'd posted this post, else I guess you just didn't like it and that's ok. It's my truck not yours :)

    I appreciate the complement.

    Haha I didn't mean is the grill seperate from the emblem... I knew that. I was wondering if the word toyota was separate letters or one whole world, but you answered my question. Thanks

    SIAP: Where did you get the emblem? How difficult was the install? This is one of the mods I want to do but not sure if I feel like cutting my new truck yet.

    The install wasn't too bad. First I tried to just cut the center outta the stock grill (the oval center), but realized I'd have no access to the mounting holes for the Grillcraft. I used a jigsaw/handsaw combo for cutting the entire stock grill out and cleaned up with a file. I was very careful. Once the old grill center is removed, the install is easy. Measure twice, don't screw it up and it will look amazing. Sorry I didn't post and install pics, but there are several threads that show it. Just search.
