    No---I have a guy that is doing the headlight mod when he gets back from vacation (end of Apr). He has done 13 Taco's and they all look great....so I figured I would let him do it so I won't screw it up. Are you saying I should get other OEM lights and mod them?

    Anyone know how to remove the damn valence insert? I found a 2010 grill ( i hope fits 2011) that I am going to attempt to fiberglass and mesh myself. May as well do the valence insert too. I wanna take that insert out before I paint the valence as well.

    Valance insert? The valance is all one piece. Part of the entire lower bumper assembly. A lot of people just tape off the valance piece below the lower grill and paint that while it's on the truck. I plasti-dipped mine. The satoshi is easy just read the directions and take your time. Make sure your fiberglass and bondo are looking good before you paint it all up!
