Grillcraft vs Customcargrills.com Insert for 2013 DCB

Did mine too. Customcargrills

 

sub'd for future..all ur trucks look great...if I may add a little tid bit that will make it look better,get high temp black paint and spray behind the grill so u do not see all the aluminum.

 

This is awesome. I would love to do this to my 2010. Any threads on this for the older front end style as far as anyone knows? I can't search using my phone or iPad haha

 

Do a rigid!!!

 

Thats what I used on my rad. High temp engine enamel.

 

The regular satoshi grill for the 05-11. Here is a write up.

Move the horns to driver side fender panel, take off the grill and rattle can the radiator and supports.

 

grillcraft here. love it, install was fairly easy and everything fit perfectly. I did upper and lower. Can't speak about customcargrills, never worked with one.

 

I hate 'transparent' grilles. Which is better to NOT see through?

 

The nice thing about custom car grills is you can choose your style grill. Their grillsal are thicker and some have less see through value. The big thing though, is to paint any surfaces behind the grill that will easily show through. For the most part, an unpainted rad will show through any grill.

Here is a great recent write up in regard to installing the Customcargrill 12-14 Tacoma DIY kit.

He used the "Perf SS"-Black mesh which I think does a great job of not being (too) transparent once you've painted the radiator.

I have an MGM 13' and did the same as the write up - Total cost including the Dremel I bought from wallmart was $110.

 

That's my write up. It really is the least amount of money of all the grills. I paid around $65 or so for everything.

 

Good call. Even the stock grille is see-through looking outside now...

 

This is exactly what I want! So sexy. But it seems flipping spendy compared to some. Did you get a deal anywhere??? Good looking grille dawg

 

Maxmate billet grill from Amazon.com.

 

Dont know if this guy could help but I was looking myself once I get the funds again.

If I knew about customcargrills.com I would have done that. But I'm happy with my grillcraft. See sig.

 

I got it for cost cause I work with my dad for our business.
