    Lost track many, many mods ago.
    I made one just a few hours ago for my first generation Taco. Looks very similar to that but instead of "Tacoma" I put "Toyota" in it. I am letting the two part glue dry as we speak. Pictures to come tomorrow!

    Love the "V6" on the bottom left too, almost didn't notice it at first. Nice touch.

    Wow man. I like that way better than your billet grill. Looks fantastic.

    Does anyone know if you can still fit a couple lights behind a satoshi grill? Thanks guys.

    I thought about that, But not until I do the BHLM, cuz the chrome kind of balances right now. And I also have a bit on the lip of my rim, I'm not a huge fan of chrome, bit a little chrome isn't a bad thing, is it???

    I used tin snips, yellow ones.

    So you just put enough on there so that it hardens around the mesh. Or do you coat the back of the badge and its strong enough to stick to the mesh wherever it touches.

    Sorry about all the questions but enquiring minds want to know.
