    Here’s the plate I made from stainless steel. It will be lit like the grill but inserted in the hood scoop

    Here’s where I am with the hood scoop light. Buddy has a CNC laser, he can cut anything.

    Dbz customer support is non existent. Good luck if you need something. Had colors mismatched and talked to the owner said he'd fix it and the rgb controller I had issues with and have never received or heard back. I have their rbg grill. Glad they helped you at least

    Some of these grills look like they were designed for the seeing impaired, but they do look nice.

    Hey brother, have you been taken care of? Our customer service can definitely improve. Key personnel that helped me with warranties etc no longer with us. Training new people as we speak!

    Works perfectly fine with the TSS. No issues with that

    No, You’re the first I’ve heard from since the few calls I had last September when you were gonna send out replacement parts after I gave all my contact info.

    Hey guys I've had this grill with white leds that say toyota on it for a year. The grill is amazing but the LED's are NOT waterproofed correctly. The LEDS are not factory siliconed to make it waterproof. It looks like non waterproof LEDs and put clear shrink tube on it. I've gone through around 3 led strips in the course of a year because water keeps getting in and destroying it. If someone has been able to find manufactured waterproof LEDs that are 5 mm wide please let me know

    Looks good man, I just ordered this grill for my 2020 quicksand with Amber night light... One question though... there are a few posts in this thread that show pictures of the lit grille but no DRL's on. @Riotfunk @Oxxroad4lyfe How are people wiring up their grille in those cases? @DBCustomzFab I am a little disappointed to hear that the LED strips are not waterproof? Any chance that's been addressed since these posts are a bit stale?

    I finally got my grille from Danny @DBCustomzFab. The amber LED's were on back order for a month or so. No big deal. I don't see anywhere that I can mount the OEM front facing camera?

    $667 shipped. As far as I can tell, this is one of the most expensive aftermarket grille's out there. I've read that the bolt holes don't line up on some later 3rd gen models (2020 like mine). I guess its easy enough to pull out the OEM grille and find out. But I don't want to start the install until I know where the front camera is supposed to go. If there is no place for the camera, or the mounting bolts don't line up with the OEM holes, I would have to consider returning it given its price point. But, maybe I'm just an idiot and don't see how the camera mounts yet...

    Do you have the OEM front camera? If so, how/where did you mount it on this grille?
