    Thanks, cheap and easy, the most expensive way getting the metal powdercoated $30. A couple hours sanding is the hard part.

Backup cam in the tailgate handle mod.
    Satoshi. Only because I'm almost done with mine and had a blast making. Buy a $40 grill from partsgeek chop it, sand it, paint it. Don't forget your mesh from customcargrills.com, they already have the satoshi mesh precut and ready to drop in. Setting up my light behind the grill now!

    chrome grill... circa 2009 or so, bad ass... hahahaha...

    kidding... i went with the bolt in grill... from a lovely fella on this forum! silver bolts, black mesh, black T emblem... (haven't bolted it in yet, might sell it) nicer than the deep dish satoshi look, but still the mesh... just right!!! makes me want to dremel out my small triangles to match more, haha... but waaaaay too much work!

    I kinda like the 05-10 grille myself. That sushi one looks weird with how far back it is 'inside' the housing. I'm not a huge fan. I'd say take the '11 grille over that :D

    I got a 2011 color matched grille from town and country. The color matched my truck but it was the double bar grille. It didnt matter because i was making a satoshi , but be sure and check when ordering if your'e set on the single bar 2011.
