    A new bolt here, a new bolt there, a new bolt everywhere.
    I got my grill from @HerT4R. Stainless steel makes me feel comfortable that it's going to take a really good hit for something to get through this grill. 20161117_191948.jpg

    2016 Tacoma TRD Sport - Inferno
    I have the 2016 TRD Sport in "Inferno", and have spent far too many hours reading this thread. What I particularly find interesting, is that of ALL the grilles I've looked at, the original is in my mind the UGLIEST. I cannot imagine what led Toyota to this design. An otherwise BEAUTIFUL truck, fronted by something out of Ford's old Edsall committee!! It is also annoying to spend $42 on a top line truck, and then have to spend $250-800 more to make the front end look good! At this point, I think Toyota should pay ME for advertising for them, otherwise my new grill will NOT have "Toyota" or the Big T on the front.

    After finally seeing the pro grill in real life I do like it a lot. The sticking out isn't that bad. But not enough to spend the money on it.

    T-Rex grill with the Toyota logo painted Silver Sky Metallic from Custom Car Grills.

    I had a TRD Pro grill on the truck, but liked this one a bit better.

    It grew on me big time , just ordered one for my DCSC white . I found it today for $515.66 delivered , no tax in Okla. , harness and switch . To me its the best looking option out there inching out the Trex black billet grill . At least on a white truck .
