    $50 I think! Check lee's(BAMF) website. Hopefully my truck will hit badass mode when I get my spindles installed and find someone that makes a hybrid bumper!

    You need to change your banner pic ASAP!

    Could you post how tall and wide the letters are please?

    Also how do they attach to the grille?

    Off topic but how much did you pay for your projectors and did you do them yourself?

    I can get the measurements tomorrow for sure. I attached them with 3M double sided tape.

    If you go to theretrofitsource.com there are kits on there for the projectors. If you see anything different with my truck I have done it. I dont like other people touching my truck. I dont even let me wife touch it LOL!

    Thanks for the answers!

    I've done my own BHLM so I have the know-how, it's just all the little details and aiming them that scare me away from that project. Like you I dont let anybody working on my truck!

    PS - that's a bad ass banner you got there :D

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    The letters are not on the site but that is the price. They are $7.50 a letter and $5.00 for shipping anywhere in the US. And the grille looks awesome man.

    very nice and clean. do you have any close ups? did you just glue the threaded studs on then put the grille on and secure it with a nut? also when you cut the factory grille out did you separate the painted surround before cutting?

    That's some nice work. $150 isnt bad at all. Folks over at the various 4runner forums are doing similar for well over 3 bills.

    I used plastic weld and fiberglass to attach the studs to the grill. I took the cover off the inner peice when I started and didn't install it back on tell I was done. You run the risk of damaging it!
