    I looked, and looked, and looked, and couldn't find a thread of people with billet grilles. Whenever I see a picture with one, it is in a totally random thread, so I thought it would be a good idea to consolidate all of them together. I know it may not be as popular as the satoshi, but there are a few here that like the look. Everybody that has one post it up. I have a black powder coated one sitting in my garage waiting to be installed, but I'm not set on cutting apart my factory grille. I need you to change my mind.

    There are some that can bolt right over the factory grille, but for a cleaner look you can cut out the center. Keep them coming!

    I've got the 4 piece billet grill that I want to get powder coated black. Seems like it would hold up to chipping. But would like to color match my grill (super white) first. Trying to rid my TRD OR of all it's chrome. I like the black/ white (storm trooper) look.

    Did any of you guys paint the radiator behind the grille? It's a little harder to notice it compared to a satoshi.
