    I like it. Nice to see something different.

    Your TRD emblem looks like it's black chrome. Did it come that way or did you spray it with something?

    It looks awesome. Great job being creative! Take a pic from further back please i want to see what it does for the overall look of the truck. I think this might be the new satoshi since you cant see everything behind it as well.

    You guys can name it. My graphic design company is called Mayhem Designs so I would just name it something boring like "Mayhem".

    No I think you can order them with the black look though. It was originally chrome and I painted it with headlight tint spray paint. I might end up doing the TRD badge in the bed liner as well.

    Here ya go, kinda cloudy today

    Is there anything between the bars? Just wondering if you are worried about anything flying in and hitting your radiator.

    Mayhem Grill Mod…sounds good.

    Sorry guys I don't know what the deal is with the pictures not loading right. :frusty:

    The gap is smaller than stock so I don't see any problem, bugs and small rocks but that would have happened before the mod.
