    In reference to this thread:

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/343401-am-i-only-person-doesnt-like-satoshi.html

    What do you think looks best based on these choices? I could list every choice but that'd defeat the purpose of the thread.

    Satoshi, where a mesh grill is recessed well behind the face of the rest of the front end of the truck. An emblem or decal may be displayed.

    Raptor, where the grill is made to look like that of the Ford F150 Raptor.

    Grillcraft, where a mesh grill is put flush with the face of the Tacoma.

    Classic, where a grill craft like mesh is mounted flush with the face and the classic white TOYOTA badging is prominent in the center of the grill.

    Billet, where flat aluminum slats replace the grill.

    Normal, where you just say f@ck it the grill looks good as it is.

    I personally like it stock. However i have played with the idea of doing the retro TOYOTA logo off the old FJ's.

    Rumor has it a VIN will be required to buy any of the TRD pro grills or other badges.. kinda like some of the FJ wheels were.

    I saw one at TacomaTown at Cochrane Toyota a few months ago. I thought it looked way to over the top on a white Tacoma. The mesh is extremely thin compared to most other meshes and the whole get up screams bling over function. You'd save hundreds of dollars just using a grill craft grill and sticking the light bar behind it.

    Heads up, the whole deal will run you around $ 1K in Canada after the proper fitting light bar. I wouldn't think it's much cheaper states side. That's just absurd for a grill and light bar.

    Just my humble opinion though.
