    so you just put a bunch of trim paint tape on the good paint to protect it from sanding, bondo, etc? I like the TOYOTA small letters, looks stock!

    Also, do you have side profile close ups of the "modded" N-Fabs? I'm on the fence about them because they install with such a long gap..

    Yeah i should have taken a little longer to sand. I did the entire mod in just under 24 hours, including 8 hours of sleep. Looks okay but im sure yours will be better.
    Thanks, the logo is from a 2003 Celica. And the tape was just there to protect the paint,

    I can take a picture of the gap on the nfabs tomorrow for you.

    I'm a little confused, how come the filling on the inside of the grille where you had to sand and paint it wasn't done before all of this? I thought you have to do that even with the grillecraft, or am I wrong?

    Nope with the grillecraft you just chop out the crossbars and screw the grille in. Takes about 5 mins if you have a sawzall.

    Ships on the 13th, I can't stand waiting. I always think shipping dates are actually the date of arrival for some reason.

    Not yet.. I gotta get on that, I've been procrastinating somehow with volunteer work and chores. :(

    I was somewhat planning on it, but I guess no one will see it now that I think about it

    Yeah you dont need to do all that work for the just the grillcraft. The only thing i did was paint my radiator braces black....buuuuut since you already have a black truck you are set there.

    Now you just need to find a logo to put on the grille.

    I like that TOYOTA logo, but then again the Transformers one is pretty sweet. I do see them a lot though so it's not that unique
