    There are so many because it is the grill that should have come stock on the tacomas. Its the only stock grill that doesnt look like ass. And this is the first vehicle I have ever owned that I actually had a strong desire to change the grill on. It's just people fixing a design flaw. You dont see owners of any other vehicle making comments about how everyone has a stock grill...

    Sorry I haven’t been answering your messages as quickly lately I’ve been real busy getting ready for Saturday’s
    UTAH TOYITA OFF ROAD EXPO!
    the taco garage.com will be there showcasing some of our products and it takes a lot to get ready for things like that, especially since I’m in Cali.
    @CoTacos the grill is actually in stock and has most likely already shipped out, that was an error in the website. (Garnishes ARE out of stock though)
    I will send you the tracking info to your pms.

    I agree, it’s one of the better looking grills out there. Just whored out in my opinion. Which sucks because there is no other alternative out there for it’s type of design/structure.

    My city has a ton of Tacomas. I don’t really see many Pro grills at all. I go months without seeing a Pro grill. I see a lot here on TW though but this isn’t really real life so I wouldn’t care if every member here received one when we joined the forum :)

    @MESO I do have to agree that they're a little whored out but as others have said (best looking option at this time IMHO). Some of the stock grills look decent when blacked out though, so there's always options. That being said, just because it's a pro grill doesn't mean it has to be "just another pro grill", gotta change it up a bit. I've seen some with different color letters, a few painting the center bar, even one or two adding holes and lights to the middle bar.

    I'd like to see folks change em up more, but hey..not everyone (including myself) is handy at customizing shit. I'm anxious to see what you come up with, I remember you mentioning some ideas in a thread awhile back and they sounded great. Keep us updated!

    I'm just hoping (if it has TEXT in the middle) that it MIGHT be customizable (or have the ability to be by end user)? Perhaps? Maybe? Just say yes....

    There are a bunch of different grill designs available. The trick is finding on that looks good and will function as designed with the TSS. There were some I considered because they look cool and are different but I wasn’t sure about the TSS and wanted to avoid problems at all costs. The pro ticks all the boxes. The fact that a lot of people switch to it is a testament to that.

    Doesn’t bother me. It looks great and works as it’s suppose to. That’s all I wanted.
