    I bought a black mesh grille from auto parts specialist it has the rivets around it but it is an overlay and it requires to drill the O.E.M grill to mount it...Should I send it back and order a different one? or risk messing up the factory one? I can't decide?

    I would go for it. If you are not to sure you can order a aftermarket replacement grill for around $60 from partsgeek.com or ebay. Or camelback toyota will sell you a factory painted grill.
