    Gentlemen and Ladies of Tacoma World,

    I am looking into purchasing a Black Billet Grille for my Tacoma 2013 Fuse Mica Sport 4x4. I know for sure I want black but I there are so many different options out there as well as price level ranges.

    I was hoping any an all could give your input on what may look great while being somewhat cost conscious. If you have pictures of your own grilles/advice/price ranges (if possible)/recommendations, I am all ears!

    I like Black Billet Grille's and the shop whom I go to in AZ to have my mod work done quoted 857.00 for a Black Billet Grille Kit (upper/lower/hood scoop) + install which I think is way to high....am I right?? I love the guys but I am not sure about that price.

    Thanks!

    You can install it yourself. Here's my old one

    Grab a can of plastic dip and you have a black billet grill for under $65

    Did the Billet come with that Emblem or did it come essentially naked chrome? I like keeping it debadged?

    No emblem. That's purchased separate from Andres on here.

    Did you do the install yourself? Is there anything else I would need to purchase except for the inserts? Were they pre-cut or would cutting be needed along with the black plastic Dip?

    They're precut. Only other thing you need in a dremel.

    Thanks, it is super tempting. I guess I want to weigh more options cause though I like the Billet, I want to see other options. But I will certainly keep my eye on this. Are you the one selling the Grille on Ebay or know the ones who are?

    For the amount they want, they should build you a satoshi.

    Not selling the one on ebay although I no longer need the billet one :anonymous:
