Has anybody "satoshi" the lower grille?

Hey just ordered a grillecraft grille and plan on doing satoshi but I realized it's two pieces it comes with the lower grille too!

So has anyone taken off there bumper and satoshi 'ed it? Thanks guys!

 

Maybe a bump? Has this really never been done?

 

i think ive seen it. cant remember where tho :S

 

Someone did it before. I cant remember who. It looked really good, but involved him to take off his bumper for about a week. Do a search and post up the link for everyone else.

 

Pm MrZoggs I did this to his truck about a week ago. It came out really nice but I don't have any photos of it that I can find right now.

 

here's my satoshi upper and lower mod using grillcraft MX Upper/Lower...enjoy...

 

^ that is tight! I love it.

Yeah I deleted the other photos because the Grillcraft was not inserted inside like the above picture.

 

That looks amazing! Props to you! Did you take off the bumper?

 

that looks good! but i dont know if it would be worth taking the bumper off for a week

 

i think you have to

 

yes i removed the bumper...

I only had my bumper off my truck for 2 days...the bumper is a lot easier to recess then the grill is...

 

no its not there are only like 10 plastic tabs that you remove(5 are on the top bumper under the grill and the other 5 are on the bottom of the bumper)...6 bolts 3 on either side of the bumper (4 of those are in the fender well 2 on either side)...

another thing is there are 2 plastic tabs that hold the bumper in just under the headlights...to remove these tabs they are permanently on the bumper so you have to push the bumpers in by the fender and lift up...be careful if you pull to hard these tabs will break...you can put the bumper back without these tabs cause they are more like security tabs than anything...

its not hard just take your time...

 

i put some mesh behind mine, and cut out a few peices for the license plate. good enough for me and the 20 minutes it took

 

Here's my Tyoshi setup fresh on the truck.
