    what's the better product here. I've used Grillcraft on my 09 taco and 11 4Runner but noticed the custom car grills kit which is a lot cheaper. Just wondering which brand is the better product. For 2014 taco

    Looks easy to install. But not a fan of the overlay look.

    Ultimately would like the trd pro grill but can't justify the $$$ for plastic.

    I too am in the market for a new grill. I too am not interested in the overlay. Just doesn't seem quite as clean, although it being reversible is nice. I've been looking at the HomerTaco. I think it's a good idea to try and support the little guys, especially those who are vendors here. I'm just not quite sure what his turn around times are. I know the 05-11 grills were backed up about 9 months or so.

    I just did the custom car grill. I like it a lot but it's not the easiest of installation.

    I've got this as well. I've had a couple grill craft guys tell me that mine looks like a thicker gauge metal.

    Can you share some info on your lights? You can PM me, do t want to hijack the thread. Mahaloz
