    The 2 vertical bars do not flow with the body curves. The bars are to curvy and need shaper lines. Not sure if I would want the grill to stick even further out making the front of the vehicle longers. Also old school toyota would make the grill unique to this vehicle rather than aftermarket general mesh grill.

    I also agree with the above post about the ford styling(aston martin) keep it in. I would think that having it out could interfere with the future addition of bumpers and lights etc.

    None as of yet
    It doesn't appear to stick out more than a pro Grille. Someone will have to pull out a tape measure and confirm though.

    Like, so many.
    I'm for the low profile look as well. There aren't a whole lot of great grille options. I'm liking the BAMF a lot. It's my top pick at the moment. I'm very interested to see what TS come up with.

    I like the design, but I do not like how far it sticks out.

    The little triangles in the upper left and right look like a good place to get a nice bug collection going.

    I would like the Toyota lettering running straight up and down not angling up as shown in the picture.

    So you can be like everyone else, hell it's actually going to be uncommon to see a TRD Sport or OR grill before long.

    Plus, c'mon 400+ for plastic..

    Edit: don't get me wrong, I like and would like to have a pro grill. It's just not worth $400, plus the grill may change in a few years anyways and the market will flood with them.

    The only thing I like about the pro grille is the fact that it says Toyota on it. But for that price I can get a custom grille that says Toyota on it matched in my color.
