    Here's mine. I bought one of the raw, discounted units, that was supposed to be slightly off on dimensions, but it fit perfect and came out good. I sprayed it with plain ole rattle can matte black.

    No. The UPPER grill is $275 shipped, you still have to pay for the LOWER grill. Look on the first page he has the pricing, think of each piece as "a la cart."

    Hey man Great Grille just got it in the mail and and am impressed with the packing too. Got a question tho. Did you trim the existing grille down to just the outward flanges? and how did you get those outer pieces flat because my form with the cross members.

    Got my grill in the mail on Friday installed it on Saturday. Lovin it!!! Took me about an hour and half, just to make sure I did it right. I did not have to make brackets, just bent tabs and left a little honeycomb from the 2011 grill to bolt onto to. The Taco looks much better now. :D

    Tim should be producing the Regular insert in about a month. I am ready as well.

    The design does sort of grow on you. I just received his light bar and the quality is top shelf. I just need to start prepping my existing grille for the insert.
