    I decided to add honeycomb behind my X-Trek grille. I bought ABS material off ebay for $20. Don’t mind the bugs, she hasn’t had a bath in awhile!:mudding:

    Very cool grill. But I wonder....Seems like with the mesh there is no sensor cover?!? I have read about a million errors if it gets wet, super dirty or snow directly!!? Hence the OEM cover for the Pro grill and hiding behind the logo on the standard one.

    I've had mine on for a long time. No errors and looks great. It's well protected.

    I think that you're correct about no cover. Maybe @Inferno! Can tell us about any problems?

    I bought the plastic honeycomb and just cut it to shape with wire clippers. Then I glued in some blocks to hold the sides and bottom and then used screws to hold the top. Very easy addition, only took about 20 minutes start to finish. Here’s the link, the price was half that when I bought it though.

    Is the X-Trek grille available anywhere besides Instagram?

    Thanks for the inquiry,

    Still working on the tweaks to the grille but should have some in stock here in the next few months.

    I'm going to be doing a preorder before then and will be sure to let you all know.

    Thanks again for everyones interest.

    Worth the wait! Here’s mine with my “new” Toyota letters installed.

    Would be nice if the redesign doesn't require the molding off the old truck so it's just one piece.
