    I voted for the Rad Industries version and that's what I ended up buying. Came in today and I just got it installed. I think it looks pretty dang good. I was second guessing my decision while it was being made but am happy with it now that it's installed. I may paint the TOYOTA logo in Quicksand or something in the future but am liking it the way it is for now. For reference I also ordered the black SR bezel instead of painting my chrome one.

    Cost was $400 out the door, shipped. I spent an extra $115 on the SR bezel.

    Best pictures of the Rad Industries grille I've seen so far. Thanks a lot for posting these. I've been interested myself but wanted to wait for a while and see what hit the market, so I derped mine in the meantime. Is it supposed to have the three little slots on the bottom? Are there any fitment issues? It almost looks like there's a bit of a wave in the center, based on the shadow on the top middle where the grill meets the bezel. Is that just my glasses?

    You have good eyes. Yes, there are 3 little slots on the bottom that the bezel doesn't cover. Another person who ordered the grille reported the same thing but the original grille that this was built off of didn't have that issue. I tried for the life of me to get the grille to slide lower to cover those slits but there just wasn't that much adjustment available as the tabs that are welded on the back to secure it were in the way. Almost as if the tabs were welded just an 1/8" too low, I'm not sure what his tolerances are in his fab process, etc so some may have this issue and others may not. I haven't contacted him yet. The top is ever so slightly pushed in in the middle as there is not way secure it well at that point like there is on the bottom...I'm planning on using a little bit of weather stripping foam behind that section to keep it tight against the bezel. The rest fits really well and it came with some quality hardware and instructions. Despite the 3 slits I couldn't get covered on the bottom I'm still very happy with how it turned out.

    I think you can use this not 100% sure though. I used photo shop to kind of see what it might look like. Here it is on an SR grill

    Nice work man. Was thinking that might be unique. Doesn't look half bad. Glad you Photoshopped it. Was looking for something on my TRD to hold me over to the pro ones are released.

    You'll be fine. Easy install and good instructions and hardware. Helps to have two people while installing (1 to hold flush with the bezel and 1 to drill it in place).
