    Not a fan of either honestly. Looks sorta plain.... Maybe if you add an old school TOYOTA badge to the front.

    I voted for the grillcraft, as I have seen that setup work very well, but the other might work well too.

    ...I know. You can buy both. Use the one you like, and send the other one to me. :)
