    Ok guys, so I'm having a dilemma here. I have an MGM TRD DCSB, I put in a matching color grill and installed grill craft mesh grill inside of it. I have two PIAA 540 driving lights. In the future I'm going to add a brute force bumper to the truck. The dilemma is I'm really love the homertaco raptor style grills, should I change it out and put an LED light bar behind the grill or just leave it like it is or add two more driving lights. Help me out here guys it all looks good but I want my truck to look and ride great and not like everyone else.

    If you can afford it... HomerTaco's grille is hands-Down the best looking of all the modded grilles I've seen.

    Has this been done yet?
    Would the mesh block too much light to be worth while?
    Would love to see this done

    So I tried recently gents making my own Raptor Grill with a purchased insert/mesh from Homertaco. The indent did get in the way, but I have spoken with Homertaco and he is going to make me one that similar to one that he has made in the past. Instead of having two indents 1/4 of the way from the top and bottom have the middle indented. That's how i figure it. Right now I just have my 20" Light bar behind the grille craft.
