    Done!

    Install was fairly easy. Its 10x easier if you take the grill off but I didn't have the tools at work. Had to borrow an allen wrench from a coworker. I dropped a screw into the skid plate and that was fun retrieving.

    To anyone installing, the little screws attach the bracket to the emblem. Then the longer screws & washers attach the entire unit to the grill through 4 holes that hold the stock emblem in place. The longer screws don't feel like they'll fit into the holes in the bracket but they're just have to be cranked in.

    The only thing I don't like is that it sticks out 1/2" or so from the grill. I'd like it better if it sat more flush.

    Other than that the thing looks sharp. Definitely will make my truck stand out from others. Kudos to Andre on a job well done.

    Looks great. Would look cleaner without the TRD on the grill now tho....but that's just my 0.02 & that won't buy anything nowadays.

    I agree 100x would look sooo much cleaner without the TRD logo. Maybe you can pull the TRD off and stick it on your tail...

    I want to see this on a silver one ... not a big fan of this look against the white truck atm ... and something not quite right about the spacing away from the grill.

    Got my model T today but didn't get my midbracket. :-( sad day for me but on the upside I got my new headlights in.

    Update: Andres is a great guy I commend him for taking on this task and he was awesome on getting me a midbracket. Thanks again Andres for doing all of this!

    Peer pressure made me remove the TRD emblem. When I took it off the posts were starting to rust so I'm leaving it off anyone.

    It does look cleaner without it. It's staying off.

    Just got mine today, awesome quality. My only gripe and I'm not sure if its just me is that I can only get 2 holes to line up. I have a GrillCraft mesh and for the life of me can only get 2 holes to line up with the mesh grille. Anybody else having this issue?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1374108188.038037.jpg

    I used the stock grill and used the extra mounting plate he sold. Mine was perfect. You may have to drill out a spot in the mesh to make it line up if you're not happy with the fit.

    I'm not happy that I can only use 2 of the 4 mounting holes, the mid bracket wasnt designed for guys with a mesh grille I believe. Rather not drill on my $200 grille in case I one day go a different route than this emblem. In any case happy with the product itself just wondering if anyone else is having this issue

    I hear you man but it is impossible to account for every possible mesh grille configuration there is on the market. Model T wasn't designed specifically for mesh grilles so I put 8 holes in there hoping that maybe 4 would align. Did you try and relocate the emblem so that more holes can line up? The holes don't necessarily have to align symmetrical, any holes will do.
