    Well I finished my Satoshi grill and figured I would post a pic. I plan on posting more pics of some things I did as far as cutting, repairing colormatch and mounting mesh. I also mounted lights behind the grill but ran into some problems but think I found a solution and will update those to help anyone thinking of doing a grill and mounting lights. Thanks to TW for all the info I found here to do mine.

    Looks really awesome. Mine took me all winter to do. I did it for a few minutes here and there. It is very time consuming but fun.

    Here's mine, i just need an emblem now. I spent 2 hours at the junkyard rummaging around and all i found was one 77 FJ 40 with the "TA" on the front grill. This was after the 2nd second sand/paint jb and pwdercoat on the mesh. Gotta do the bottom grill now
