    I have one I need to install but the mounts for the S8 30” BD Lightbar is just a little too tight and there’s no way to move the mounts apart so I’m looking to see if I can shave down the the light itself to make it fit.

    Its freakin cool
    I wish i can control the brightness of the light
    Really happy with it
    Its worth every penny to me

    This might help
    Those bolts on the grill dont aligned right on the plastic
    It will fit in on the holes
    But it will not aligned on the plastic
    Easy mod just make the holes on the plastic a bit bigger
    ( i fitted the gril on the plastic then use my soldering iron to melt the plastic so the grill will align pretty good with the plastic)
    That grill will be centered on that plastic grill

    These grills look friggin great and i’m seriously considering one with the night glow TACOMA. I think it will really make a statement to the front of the rig.

    I do have a question and I apologize if it was already asked. How is the night glow on the DB Customz grill tied into the Tacoma DRL correctly? I’m going to place a order and need to know in advance.

    We do take pride in our work...We do stand behind our hand built grilles. I'd like to think our grilles are BOMBPROOF but LEDs can go out occasionally but rare. We have 1000's in stock if the LEDs ever go out wed replace it for you

    I've had mine 3 years next month. It's been great and I've been very happy with it.

    However in the past six months or so, it's developed a number of places where the powder coating is chipping off and the grill is rusting.

    Looks like I got one of the early non-stainless ones :-(

    Looking at the website I see some listed as aluminum and some as stainless. The one I ordered about a week back says powder coated aluminum.

    That guys is called customer service, way to go Danny

    Anytime I see that it makes me feel comfortable that my purchase was with a company that stands behind their products.

    I’m looking forward to installing one of your grills on my Tacoma, as i’m sure it will completely change the looks.

    While I’m thinking about it I need to ask if the LED lighting is 12 volts so it may be tied into the DRLs?
