    I believe they are made by Spyder, but I purchased them from Tacomabeast a few years ago.

    How did you modify the stock one? I too have a SWB truck and the biggest thing holding me back from purchasing this is I doubt I’d ever get the surround perfectly paint matched.

    The stock grille is plastic welded from the back..if you take your grille off, you'll see what I'm talking about. I just broke off all those pieces and split it. To where I only had the back piece. Then I started cutting out the middle portion of the plastic to be left with what you see in the picture above. You have to keep testing the center part of the aftermarket grille so it can fit snug. It took me about an hour to get it.

    Dang. I am looking for your style, the straight bar not the “winged” type.

    No, I bought the complete aftermarket grille, but I only utilized the center piece.

    No, I believe I purchased it back in December. I was also searching on Amazon for another gentleman but couldn't find any. The only place I found one, was on facebook market place here in Southern Cali.

    I tackled this today. Tried to attach the weather strip but then decided to attach the center to my stock grille instead. Took longer than expected but turned out great!
