    Does anyone know a website I could get a nice grill for my 2000 Tacoma? If not what are your opinions on a homemade mesh grill?

    there are also quite a few threads on how to do your own, it's not that difficult just takes a little patience and time I've done one for both of my trucks. If you do decide to do your own I would purchase some mesh that is already shaped as that is the most difficult part.

    For a 01-04 mesh kit the main section is $40 + shipping. Add $5 for the triangles and $16 for a black powder coat finish. I don't keep them pre-made in stock but I can turn them around in about 3 weeks if the customer wants powder coat. I can usually ship out within a day or two if they don't want the mesh coated. :D

    Does that include the Raptor style with the oval holes and the channel bends?

    No, the design is too large for the smaller 1st gen opening.
