    I got all the stuff to do this mod, took the front frill off the truck and noticed that mine dosent look like everyone elses here (its a 2013) so I'm not sure where to cut and bondo.... Does anyone have photos of their 2012/2013 Satoshi Grill that they made (not bought) that might help me figure out where to cut...

    Thanks
