    Ya, I got a black truck and was kinda going for the black out look. But that one you got even as chrome looks great and didn't scream look at me. I like it. Did it come with the toyota logo?

    It uses the logo that came with your original grill. There's a metal plate that comes with the E&G grill that secures your Toyota logo. Unfortunately, unlike the TRex, you still have to use a logo due to a recessed center section that would look really weird without the badge. At first, I was a little bummed to not have a completely clean grill, but I think it actually looks better with the badge and continues to avoid that black hole look.

    Does anyone here know if the 2016 T-Rex grills will fit the 2017's.

    I contacted T-Rex the other day and they said they are working on fitment to the 2017's, and visually the stock 2016's grill looks the same as the 2017's to me. I am going to call the dealer next week and see if they can tell me if the part # for the 2016 and 2017 grills are the same.

    T-Rex said they are expecting to have grills ready for the 2017's in about a month

    Looks nice, and I just got a white 2017 and am planning on getting a T-Rex grill like this for mine when the have them available, and I agree with what you said about not getting a black grill, especially on white.

    That's really nice looking! I have no shame admitting I will be copying that concept. Wonder what kind of paint was used?

    I like the Ridgid Industries grille. Laser cut stainless steel. Perfect fit and function. At least for me anyhow.

    Nice, I'm looking for something similar (with space for a LED bar as well). I was on their website though and didn't see anything for a 2016+ Tacoma. Where did you find that?

    I really like this too but $$$$ with a light bar from them. Without one it's a weird hole.

    I just put this on over the weekend. @customcargrills mesh and lettering. Bezel is painted with spray bed liner, and I custom painted the letters BBP and added the TRD badge. Letters are raised 1/8" above the grill. I love it!

    We released 2 different Style grilles today...The "Patriot" and the "Black Ops"...:) Our new "Back-Lit" grilles have a completely sealed Waterproof 4 Chip Led Strip surrounding the Water-Jetted glass. Sorry about the bad pic...The phone camera is crap!

    Stock TRD Sport Grill. Used Dupli-Color Shadow Chrome to make it a "black chrome" grill.
    I like how it turned out, and you can't beat the price ($25).

    It's a T-Rex billet grille!! Really nice and heavy duty compared to the stock "chrome" grille. I really love it. Changed the whole look of the truck.
