    I finally received my grill from unique auto on Thursday, took 2 weeks to arrive. Installed the lower grill after work on Friday. It was simple, just bolt over existing grill. I took top grill off truck and spray painted everything black behind it as per instructions. This morning went to Home Depot and bought a Dremmel, would not have been able to cut old grill and sand down if I hadn't had this tool or one similar. I bought one of these grills for an Escalade EXT I had about 10 years ago. That install was fairly simple and straight forward. I can not say the same for the Tacoma. The instructions are very vague as far as where to cut out the existing grill. Believe me when I say there is no room for error. I feel I'm mechanically inclined and this install is not for the timid. Took about 4 hours start to finish. Now that it's done, it looks awesome and the quality is top shelf. I love the look too! I know not everyone likes chrome, but I do. That's why I have the Limited. Chrome won't get you home but looks great when your stuck in the mud.:D
