    Barely noticeable with the bug shield on there.

    Did you buy the grille or make it yourself? If bought, details please.

    the grill I got was off ebay ran me $129, its called 05-11 Toyota Tacoma BLK Front Mesh Billet Grille Grill . It is still available on eBay for $119 now @ http://www.ebay.com/itm/05-11-Toyota-Tacoma-BLK-Front-Mesh-Billet-Grille-Grill-/190539923905?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Make%3AToyota%7CModel%3ATacoma&hash=item2c5d 1081c1&vxp=mtr
    The Toyota Emblem I got off eBay too it ran me like 70 W Shipping, it was off of an old FJ40 Cruiser still for sale at same price @ http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOYOTA-FJ40-1974-1975-1976-1977-1978-1979-FRONT-GRILLE-EMBLEM-LANDCRUISER-OEM-/331044781753?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &hash=item4d13ce7eb9&vxp=mtr

    I than used some red paint I got from auto zone and filled it in and let it dry over night. After washing, off-roading and all the sunshine it got over the 2 years it still looks just like the day I put it on.
    Quick note, it doesn't come with parts that fit the grill that I got on my truck that's listed above, so your going to need to use your own thought
    ill get some pics of my set up soon

Idk if I want to sell it.. all you guys out there with no bug deflector get any rocks flying at your hood? that deflector saved my hood from dents 2 times on the freeway so far..

    Thanks :)
    I got 16" TRD Ivan Stewart rims .. I love them a lot,.. there are a couple other ones I would go with, but these were on the truck when I got it and I didn't want the whole truck to be black so I decided they were me. ;) definitely recommend:)

    I decided to lose the bug deflector after I installed eyelids as well. Looks way better and I felt the deflector was directing rocks straight at my windshield.

    im still debating if I like it with or without, here's the most recent picture with the bug deflector OFF. IDK if I like it like this.. will have to drive around and see.. by taking the bug deflector off, I don't have a feel of how much space I have before hitting something LOL
