    Very nice, what paint did you use for the part surrounding the grill?

    I finished painting my headlights last night, it was a lot of work but they turned out pretty good and they Definetly look night and day better than stock. Now im on to the satoshi mod:D Can someone please give me a link as to where I can buy a little trd emblem

    Dude, your truck is what convinced me to do the satoshi mod in the first place I was looking for grills last week on google and found your truck. So I was going to try and do exactly what you did( I know kinda lame:rolleyes:) but your truck is amazing:drool: Im down in socal by the way, in aliso viejo its right by laguna and newport beach.

    hey BigGuy..(sounds kinda weird addressing you that way) lol
    Paul did a nice write up that should help you out\/
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/28831-my-satoshi-grill-write-up.html

    I also used Lwyatt's write up on toyotanation too :thumbsup:

    My lower valence is flat black vinyl. I would suggest getting the vinyl from sockmonkey. it is quality vinyl and is pretty durable. If you paint it black....it is there for good. you can always peel off the vinyl if you get tred of it or trade in. Shoot sockmonkey a PM
    just my 0.2. lmk if you have any more ?'s man
