    Bought some "L" brackets, bent them, and attached to factory bolts holding the bumper on. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

    I like your painted grill. I might do that to mine, but the more I think about it, the more I like how it looks stock on MGM:

    That looks pretty good. We'll see if the chrome grows on me after awhile.

    I go with "other"

    The SR5 grille is just too much cheap looking plastic for my taste. It's almost as though it's something you'd find on a lower level trim :rolleyes:

    The BAMF grille is probably my favorite so far, but all I've seen are the prototype pics. They're still enough to get me salivating a bit though.

    I'm okay patiently waiting to see what the new TRD Pro grille looks like though. Besides, my truck hasn't even gotten here yet :annoyed:

    edit: looking at the prototype pictures of the BAMF grille it seems they have a bit of ways to go with the fit, you can see at the top and bottom of the grille at the edges where it isn't flush with the contour of the trim. Looks like the trim and the rest of the fascia have a bit of convexity to them, and the BAMF grille insert is flat, so it lacks that arch to contour properly with the trim. Take a look at the pics and you'll see what I mean. They said they're still working on fitment issues, so perhaps this is something they are going to address before releasing the final version.:fingerscrossed:

    Jerry already addressed that he'll be working on the bends of the grille to make it more flush. He said the final product will probably be about 2 weeks out so stay tuned.

    I mentioned that it was the prototype and they're working on the fit, and like I said, I'm eager to see the final product. The prototype definitely has piqued my interest!

    TACO GRILL.jpg This is my personal preference and I'm waiting (hopefully) for grill craft to make one ASAP
    With either TRD emblem in the bottom corner or "TOYOTA" in the middle in black.

    I like this grill but it's too pricey. Rather have an SR5 I think
