    I am looking for a cheap grill (preferably $150) for my sr5 since I'm on somewhat of a budget. Are there any specific ones that would fit mine? I've been looking on offer up but can't really find one at a good price. I'm looking for a black one that says toyota instead of the shiny emblem.

    You're trying to find a custom grill for $150? You might be able to get a chinese TRD PRO grill for that much, maybe.

    same shit as everyone else
    Here's mine, but keep in mind that I own a 2016 and don't have to worry about the TSS stuff and the sensor in the Toyota emblem. That being said. I got a cheap Chinese woven wire mesh grill and an OEM Toyota Land Cruiser emblem off ebay. The grill came gloss black so I fixed that with truck bed liner. The TOYOTA emblem came with white letters on a black background so I hit it with about 10 coats of Plasti Dip smoke, then finished with several coats of 1K flat clear. I think I spent $125 total. It wasn't too difficult of a project, just a PITA at times. Mostly dealing with the cheap grill posts that hold it in. I'm happy now though.

    I pieced this grille together for about 150 bucks. Amazon grille, custom letters, auto glue. I changed to the pro style grille when I added my winch.
