    coming soon!
    #1 and #4 are awesome without or with a Toyota logo like the one on the orignal grille. Don't like any emblem with "Toyota" spelled out. that's tacky.
    Try adding a logo on the #1 and #4 it would look sweet.

    If the Toyota lettering in #3 were standard size instead of stretched, I'd vote for that.

    I chose 1 but I also like 3 alot its just that I feel like the 3rd one is copying to much off the raptor and I like to be different and original. But you have something here if you can figure out how to make this work. Nice job

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Agreed, I don't think it should be shrunk down too much, but maybe not stretched all the way across either.

    I'll also add, it still kind of looks like a satoshi, just with missing parts.

    I've been thinking about this for over a year but never acted on it. It looks solid but i'm not sure it will flow too well. But none the less it does look pretty cool! This is what a buddy of mine mocked up for me last year. Obviously its not as good as yours but it gives you the idea!

    I'd like to see how you did it if you ever get this rolling!

    hey OP. i passed a current gen. chevy/gmc on the interstate today and they have a very similar grill (to the one in you're pics). might help you to pick one up for mock-up. they are much larger than ours and you might be able to cut to fit the stock taco shell.

    BTW, i voted for #2.

    3 for sure resembles the most of the raptor style.

    edit: 3 would also be cool if you could make it say TACOMA instead of TOYOTA
