    To each his own and I certainly ain't putting down anyone's style but I just don't like the look... I'm just wondering if I'm the only one... I know on this forum I'm definitely the minority....

    I don't like it either. I think it's for people who want to put things behind it like big lights and such?

    There are very few of them that I like. Stock grill looks tight on my 2014.

    Clazzio seat covers,
    When I 1st bought a 2nd Gen base truck I wanted to do this ... I then painted out the emblem ... I liked the look ... got my 1st SR5 and once again thought I would like it ... painted both the grille ('10 had a dark silver look to it) and the emblem ...got the '14 TRD OR which went back to a black crossmembers ... painted out the emblem ... staying with it ... so ... in a word "no".

    I wouldn't put one on my truck...

    and I like my chrome grill and rear bumper. Based on the comments on this board, that puts me in a very small minority. :D

    I initially liked the look, and it does work on some rides. Will I do one? Probably not. There are a lot of them are not exactly well done IMHO. Still a few rigs pull it off nicely, but I don't it's for me.

    I don't like this mod either, 90% don't have the script straight of the letters straight anyway.

    I like the look on the 05-11, but on 12+ I think the stock grille is better looking if color matched.
