    Looks great, the recessed look is way better than flush. That's one thing I don't care for in the new OEM and aftermarket grilles. I personally think it would look better with individually cut letters or cutting the letters out from the base grille. Looking forward to seeing it installed.

    I haven't moved over to the dark side yet but I gotta say I think that grill is gonna improve the look of the 2016 big time.

    We should be able to knock out the fist batch pretty quick once fitment is confirmed to be perfect we will get knocking them out.

    Thanks for your input but I'll let my attorney take care of what needs to be done to protect this design. This is our design and the only one of its kind not one single company or person has created a one peice fully bolt on sheet metal grille insert with a recessed look for the 2016+ TACOMA's nor has anyone done it for any Tacoma for that matter.

    I'm not going to argue with you about legalities I have my attorney and we will figure out what we can and can't protect about this part thanks.

    Seriously, let the guy do what he wants. If he wants to try and patent his hard work let him. Who the hell cares.

    I still want your grille JLee

    Jerry, you mentioned that one of the options you were considering was to have a cutout (or cutouts) for LED lights, have you thought about that more? Reason I'm asking is that I'm interested in a grille with a hole for something like the Rigid Industries 20" bar, along the lines of these: http://offroad.rigidindustries.com/led-grilles/40552

    Not sure how that'd look (or fit) with your design, though.

    If anything this grille is closer to the TRD Pro grille then the idea you linked. That's the look i was going for in the first place.
