    I just installed this grill I got from eBay. Has anyone had any experiance with it? I had to cut some tabs off of it to make it fit. Other than that I like it. It goes good with the projectors and black bumper. What do you guys think?

    Either way, it looks good...

    Yeah, I plan to paint behind the grill over the week end. I think it will help out the look over all.
    As for the stock grill, I will hang on to it and plan to upgrade to the grillcraft mesh grill next year. I would keep this grill, but can't find a grill to match for the bottom.

    So, if you like this grill keep an eye out for it next year in the for sell forum.

    wish i would have known before i bought the trd sport. I would have just got the trd offroad and traded with you. It shouldnt be hard to find someone wanting to trade FOR a hood scoop. Pat's taco has a normal hood. ( i think)
