    Hey Tacoma people!
    I was wondering if anyone that has a grillcraft has done anything to make it less transparent in the sun. I’ve thought rhino lining it might work! Has anyone done this or have any other ideas?

    If you’re referring to being able to see right through at everything behind it like the radiator, a lot of members have lightly sprayed high temp black paint on the radiator fins. Some have even relocated their horns for a real clean look!

    Yes I’ve done that also! Still in direct sunlight it looks like there is no grill there at all.

    If you put some type of badge/logo on it, it will draw your attention to it:



    This is mine with an open mesh, and not painted inside. I think the logo draws your eye, and makes it seem less see through.
