    Done with plastidip, happy with the results. I like the black with chrome...just very toned down on the chrome. May end up changing it later, but happy with this for now.

    Plasti dip looks cheap

    I went thru pep boys with a crap magnet, got it all
    I did the Line-X standard. had them coat it as 2 pieces. I will not be using the grill , however I really like how the bezel came out. I ordered a flat black piece of mesh, until then just the bezel.

    He did a nice job, coated it well. Its not the look I am going for. A large low tech area on an otherwise slick looking truck. It kind of stands proud off the front, I'm sure that is Toyota's intention, painting it black or coating it doesn't change the shape. I will recess the perforated sheet a little. It was worth a try.

    * BAMF Grille *50% tint driver/passenger front window * NFAB steps * Bakflip F1 tonnaeu * Bed extender * Bed mat * Weathertech digital floor mats * Black reflective Tacoma tailgate decal
    I'm for BAMF. Having seen it in person and mocked up to the truck it's impressive.

    The mockup pic don't do it justice since it's not finished...but knowing Jerry has high standards for fitment and finish I'm stoked for the outcome. Definatley very demensional which I like.

    I'll have the chrome bezel black and letters in MGM to match the truck.
