    *Edit 5/1/20* Added new light bar/skid plate. Just waiting on a single row led bar. I wanted something subtle yet Prerunner looking. My fabricator built this and is completely bolt on. Figured I’d use it until I decide to go full long travel. Check out the pics below.

    *Original*
    Decided to change things up and go with the stock Honeycomb TRD Sport grill. My previous Grill is pictured below as well.

    Looks great. The stock honeycomb grill for the 05-11 Tacoma is one of my favorites. Wish they made one like that for the 12-15 models.

    Love the honeycomb grille! I actually just found one the other day that wasn’t too bad on price, just have to repaint it and it’s good to go!

    I like the grille but I'm not a fan of mimicking Ford lights on a Toyota but you're probably not a fan of my grille emblem but it's all good. To each their own.

    The grille surround was $55 on eBay, the mesh is aluminum and came off of an old TV satellite dish, the emblem I made (I stole the idea from a friend of mine).

    That emblem has got to be the most accurate representation of the Toyota Logo. That’s exactly what I think of when I see a Toyota badge. That’s awesome!

    I love the honeycomb grill too! I had it saved in my cart for over a year and finally decided to pull the trigger.

    Looks good but it doesn't look color matched. Did it came pre-painted or DIY?

    I bought it direct from Toyota color matched Super White from factory. I think it’s because my truck paint is 10 years old and the grill is brand new.

    Thank you.

    Idk how but I completely misread your original post. You went from the mesh to the honeycomb, I thought it was the other way around. You wrote it clearly so idk lol. It looks great.

    Straight up, honeycomb grill is one of the best grills for the 05-11.
