    That would be great if we can get it in the hands of someone who missed out on the initial giveaway.

    It looks awesome, but honestly there’s cheaper options out there and every metal grill I’ve seen looks too similar

    Right on man! I love mine too.
    Tomorrow I’m thinking about painting the back plate MGM and the grill matte black to match the truck before I install my Westin grill guard. I’ll post pictures when I do if you guys want to see how it turns out.

    This is an honest question. Who has a cheaper regular price for something similar to what I have to offer for the 2018+ that I just posted ($249-279)? Keep in mind, I'm using stainless steel and not carbon steel.

    Below are the others I can think of, off the top of my head; listed in order of price.

    B A M F
    - $300 for stainless: Now, technically he doesn't make a 2018+ but his 2016-17 stainless grille was $300 http://bayareametalfab.3dcartstores.com/2016-and-2017-TACOMA-ECO-grille-insert_p_75.html
    Empyre OffRoad - $325 for aluminum: https://empyreoffroad.com/products/2018-toyota-tacoma-grille-insert?variant=15408280109144
    CuttingEdge - $325 for aluminum: https://www.cuttingedgeoffroad.com/...16-2017-toyota-tacoma-one-piece-grille-insert
    BP Fab - $380 for aluminum: https://www.bpfabricating.com/collections/tacoma/products/2016-tacoma-grill-direct-insert
    DB Customz - $419 for aluminum: https://dbcustomz.com/collections/t...style-with-without-raised-lettering-16tacv417
    300Industries - $514 for carbon steel: https://www.300industries.com/colle...-2018-tacoma-v2-with-stainless-steel-underlay

    $249-279 shipped for a stainless steel one with TSS doesn't feel like I'm pricing myself out too far. I'm honestly curious who's offering anything close to what I've got at the regularly advertised price that I've got it at.

    If owners want aluminum, I can cut them from that too for the same price. :notsure:

    Obviously if you bring faux pros into the equation, that's a whole different thing. If owners want to support that type of crap, then we're all doomed.

    Every free oz. of time gets sucked up by school work right now :(

    It will get installed and pictures will follow, you have my word! It might be four weeks from now, but it will happen.

    here's a dusty action shot from today...thanks again for the awesome deal @customcargrills :woot:

    [​IMG]

    and to whoever was asking about the airflow; on friday i spent about 6 hours driving from san diego to north of los angeles in 90+ degree weather, stop and go traffic, and the A/C on the full time. Then wheeled around for about 5 hours in 90+ degree weather with the A/C blasting, then another 4 1/2 hour drive home, all within 26 hours and everything was fine...

    Sorry man,

    I haven't been able to install it yet since I have to drop my front CBI bumper to take the grill off. I'm aiming to get it done this weekend and will definitely post it here and on IG when it's complete. :thumbsup:

    After all the replies asking for a 2018+, not a single owner interested anymore? :confused:

    Finally found a home for this one. Hopefully will have installed pics soon.

    Still got quite a few of the 2016-17's in stock. I guess even after giving away 10 of them, there's just zero interest after seeing some installed? It's the best dollar for dollar grille out there imo. Open to suggestions, but if the grille game is dead then I guess it's just dead.

    I think with how cheap the faux pros are, everyone is opting for that. I still appreciate you hooking us up with some and seriously recommend them to anyone who is on the fence about getting one of these.
