    Slow boat from China? Speaking of which I just received a order from China 2 days ago and they are trying to put that 25% tariff on the goods plus shipping. ?? Don’t mind on the goods themselves but shipping? What a world we live in today.

    What you actually need is a tracking number for the 1st panel Danny sent you.

    I really like my DB Customz grill. Beats the hell out of the plastic grill.

    I didnt get any tracking number
    When i made my order online i didnt get any tracking
    It just came on the mail
    It took almost 10 days to get to me

    Last time i spoke to danny he said to email him my address so he can send me a replacement
    and didnt hear anything from him after that

    No no. You are confused. Tariffs are good for businesses and consumers. Here, try this Kool-Aid then you’ll understand.

    Removed the grill from the truck
    Removed the toyota sign from the grill
    By removing 14 screws

    Heres the hard part
    Once those screws are off
    Itll come apart in to 3 pieces
    The led is sandwich between the black plastic
    And the toyota logo
    When you get that led aligned
    You put another layer on top
    To sealed it off and screw it back on

    Youll need zip ties to hold everything i place then screw it on the grill

    I guess the thing that concerns me is that the led strip you show is not waterproof. Waterproof led strips have a thick silicone put on them as they are manufactured. That said i’m sure it’s a matter of time until you will be doing this all over again since it will get wet every time it rains or you wash your truck.

    I have some of the waterproof led strips ordered for a light i’m going to place inside the hood scoop. I’ll post a picture of that once it is finished.

    Is the acrylic painted on only one side? If so i’m assuming it’s the side facing the backside of the grill

    Did you use the strip they sent you or did you get the waterproof strip elsewhere?

    The TAP plastic I ordered is arriving tomorrow and with it i’ll Be adding a little something to the hood scoop
