    I would like to see more cuts without the 3x3 cutouts and raised red lettering like the previous designs.

    I'm sure DB is working on options. I'll pass along the suggestion to have the options that are available for the previous year grilles.

    Here are the install pics for the 2016

    Awesome grille! Are you working on any other designs as well? I was curious to see if anyone was going to inset the grille like the 4Runners a bit instead of making it flush with the front end in addition to getting rid of the chrome trim. I'll be moving to Navarra area Jan-Feb, if your shop is local would love to check it out. Thanks.

    Here's the new grille on a 2016 at the local dealer. I sure hope DB took a few pictures showing the whole truck.

    Not sure how i feel about this grille. Might just be the bad shots and angles.

    I'm thinking if the Toyota was a different color to break up the solid black and they used black cubes instead of white it would look much better. Looks good regardless but that might look better

    DB will be color matching the grille area behind the TOYTOA plate, so you're wish is granted.

    OK, I'm back guys...It's been hectic in the last three weeks...Moving shops, Orders, CAD work, etc...
    A little about the 2016 Tacoma Grille. I designed and engineered the grille insert so you don't have to cut anything on the grille. Who wants to cut into a $40K truck right! Simply remove 6 screws to the chrome trim and snap the center out. The insert is tabbed and falls into place. The grilles are a little bit more expensive. The running time on the WaterJet is driving the cost. I am trying to find corners where I can lower it. The above picture is my first design. I will have 3 designs for the 2016's.
    1. Double Cubes with TOYOTA or TACOMA overlay
    2. 20" Bar
    3. TOYOTA or TACOMA Overlay with no cubes

    We can however color-match the letters to the vehicle before the overlay is secured to the grille. IMG9530541.jpg IMG_38561.jpg IMG_38561.jpg

    If someone orders a silver pls post a pic. That red looks sharp, provides a nice pop of color.

    We'll have pricing on all the different options soon.

    Here's another variation for everyone to check out.

    With the larger grille design on the '16, that probably wouldn't look too good.

    In the words of joe dirt, it's not what you like... It's the consumer. Ha no seriously I just want something about like it with the font of the tailgate and a black mesh that you can't really see a pattern on
