    Had my hood replaced under warranty and while they were doing that they painted my grill for me in gloss black, woot! How many of you running painted grills?

    I plastidipped my grill black. I knew I made a wise choice when the local hipster coffee shop owner said she liked it.

    That looks great. Black grilles blend really well with the blue Tacomas in my opinion.

    Precisely as @scottalot put it. It was vibrating VIOLENTLY(probably 1/8"-1/4" of movement at 75-80 pending wind) and would even mildly vibrate, albeit enough that I could notice, at idle.
