Anyone have this grill?

I was browsing around eBay tonight and saw this. Noticed 11 have been sold. Was wondering it was anyone on here?

Hows the fitment on it?

I do, fitment is decent. Had it painted to match, the body shop said the plastic was a PITA to work with, and i had to grind down some spots on the mounting brackets (that you cant see) because they were hitting the headlight tabs. Sure looks cool tho, I actually dont have pictures on hand

 

Hmm. This might work out for me. My main concern with the fitment was around the headlights and the hood. The lower part of my grill isn't attached to anything now since I swapped out bumpers. If you don't mind, would you be able to post up pics of yours?

 

Sub'd for interest. Let us know how it works out for you!

170 bucks for plastic?

 

your Truck...

$35k for metal?

 

35k for lots of steel, a good bit of copper, other materials and hours of engineering and percision manufacturing? Still 35k is high as I'm sure most vehicles are made for less than 5k-10k. But still, that's why you buy used.

VS

A cheap plastic grill most likely made for 1 dollar in a slave labor shop that I could break with my bare hands if I wanted to.

Not even the same ball park or sport.
This grill shouldn't be anything over 30-50 bucks maximum. If I'm paying over 100 it better be made of steel or aluminum.

$170 for a poopoo plastic grill is pure insanity plain and simple

 

Oh, cool! You had one. I mean, I assume you did because of your intimate knowledge of it and confidence in value estimation.

How was the hookup for the LEDs?

 

No I don't have it, I wouldn't 170 dollars on a plastic grill. You can get steel and aluminum ones for around $80-$150 on many sites.

 

Yeah but people will think you've got a Raptor, Bro!

 

Ew no

 

I spent $34k on a plastic grill, granted it came with a free truck

For more productive conversation; @rutacoma would it be possible to see some pics of yours? I'm also very interested in seeing if the LEDs can be wired to activate with the DRLs.

 

Now THAT is a deal.

 

This is the Tab i had to grind a bit

The harness that comes with it was 3 of these connectors, I just wired to my parking lights

 

Hope these help, dont let the haters get you down lol I wish my body shop had done better , but otherwise am really happy with the grill. I was changing my light setup, and wanted to go with the BAMF behind grill bracket, this grill was the cheapest (and coolest) option IMO.

 

Awesome! Thank you. Your truck looks great!

 

I may have to wait until a deer or pedestrian messes my OEM grill up first, but I too had seen this grill online and liked the way it looked.

 

For the Tacoma, no you can't. Have a link?

 

Just did a random search:

I'm sure there are different ones or better ones around the same range.

But still, these are all metal. I would much rather have metal if I am spending over 100 bucks on something.
