NEW 2ND GEN GRILLE???

Not really...

 

Dang. That would’ve been the selling point for me, I probably would’ve purchased if they were. Thanks for your response!

 

Not sure if I’ll keep the lights just yet, but I finished the paint on mine today

 

Interesting. I initially didn’t like this grille as it looked cheap. Painting like you did really did a lot for it. I can’t wait to see it on your truck.

 

i agree. I was hesitant to buy it but gave it a shot anyway. Panting it was well worth it. I’m looking forward to putting it on the truck, maybe tomorrow

 

What’s the latest link? I’d love to pickup one of these up!

 

this is the one I got, came pretty quick

USCG Grille Front Grill with 6 Letters Fit for 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma

 

Put it on, but it got dark before I could get a better picture. Overall, fairly pleased.
I still need to put the seal on it to close the gap between the hood and wire the lights if I decide to keep them (I wanted 3 but the shape of these make me have to use 4)
The lower square tabs that go inside the corners by the headlights dont seem to be tall enough so I’m worried they may pop out...I’ll see what happens in a few weeks at Rausch Creek.
Upper part sits a bit higher than the hood, hopefully the seal helps that a bit.

 

Don’t like the 4 lights. Going to try and mod them so I can fit 3 instead

 

i like it.

 

I like how you painted yours. What did you use to paint match?

$14 Dupli-Color BTY1616 7 Perfect Match Automotive Spray Paint – Toyota Silver Streak Mica, 1E7 – 8 oz. Aerosol Can

Dupli-Color BTY1616 paint matched spray can and some clear coat? Did the seal help with the grill looking a little high? I may do the same after I finish some other projects.

 

I used the duplicolor for the silver but had some leftover UPOL clear coat so I used that. The seal did help, I went w/ the tailgate seal a few pages back

 

I like it. Found some rubber seal on Amazon that worked better then i expected. The bottom middle part of the grill likes to sit over the small lip of the bumper so you have to make sure it sits on the outside of it rather then on top so it lines up correctly with the hood. (Last two pictures are a couple days after the install and she needs a wash)

Your grill looks like a revised version of it, the
Toyota logo looks like it sits more centre.

 

The middle bar sits differently as well.

 

I think I prefer this grill actually. @Nickomode123 Where did you get yours from?

 

Same here.

 

Same, I’m here for the answer!

 

This is where I bought mine

The grill being advertised is like yours but this is what i received. I think the middle piece where the letters go on yours is nicer because mine is really skinny and you have to be careful not to bend it while putting on the letters.

 

This group buy is open again & the grille looks super similar.
