    here are some more pictures :D The trim covers were not holding, so i just put some 3m double sided tape on instead. Left side still needs some adjustment. Also on the right side, the bumper is a little dented (hit & run :eek:, still haven't had time to fix it)

    Could you do it in a non toyota color? I'm thinking about a flat black finish to match the rest of the trim on my truck.

    sure, however, it will be hard to find flat black for a spray gun, and a rattle can job will be shitty...i'll look for it tho :)
    Prepping the grille takes much longer than prepping the bumper, but it's doable, it will just take at least an hour longer, and will cost $80 extra mainly because of the work it takes to mask the center piece and triangle. There is no taping involved at all for the bumper.

    ^ yea, lol, today was the first time I used this new primer Im trying out, and it didnt work well at all. The primer flake off the bumper every time. After 3 times of toying with the acetone and thinner mixture, I gave up. Mr. Brown was super cool and agreed to let me redo the entire bumper this next week :D and was the most patient and cool customer ever, helped me thru this entire snafu :laugh:

    Im use my old primer and get this bumper done ASAP :thumbsup:

    ^ to paint and satoshi a grille is $200, triangles are an extra $20. I have never done a hood scoop mesh, but willing to try. Turnaround is 4-5 days. Throw in some of that Humboldt's finest and I might not off a few bucks here and there ;)
