    I don't mean to nit pick, but wouldn't it look better and possibly negate the body work on the grill surround to bring the grill to the front more as HPVds did in he photoshop pics?

    :)bought this item months ago, but only recently installed it (i'm a busy guy :D) performed the lower bumper satoshi as had purchased all the grill pieces Homer offers ( main, triangles, lower and h'scoop). finally settled on the "TACOMA" characters in an aluminum color after finding the black a little subdued and the red a little overpowering. may change later as there are many variables considering mesh/letter color, but presently am VERY HAPPY with the results. thanks to the OP (hpvds) for the concept, JLee for the fab of the actual letters and Homer for the production :bowdown:
