    Offensive stickers and stuff the wife doesn't know about.
    I would totally be down for one of the mesh ones with the reflectors if the reflectors we actually LEDs, but to me reflectors are just kinda cheap/pointless. Don't really care if it "copies" the "raptor" style.

    Opinions:

    I like the grill designs (the one with bolts around the edge: not so much. But I don't like fake beadlocks either). I would like them better if they had the classic "TOYOTA" across the middle.

    Personally not into the 3 reflectors. I think a lot of folks would like them if they were LEDs (which I could take or leave).

    But please, for your own success, make your grills so they have the option to mount a light bar. Folks would dig that (including me).

    If you could make a slider that looked like that step, I would be all over that. It's a great looking product and if I didn't off-road I would love to have a set.

    If you did it without the reflectors, it'd be even better. But I like the OG Toyota emblem instead of it saying Toyota across it. The first two grills are cleeeeaaaan. And if the step were a proven slider, I too, would be all over it

    I really dig the grilles and side steps. Don't really need any side steps but I could go for one of them grills if the pricing was right.

    Which is why I ask, "can they be made into lights..." reflectors can be removed and then the slots used as lights, unless the reflectors are glued or held into a slot, which then they would need to be cut open...

    My enthusiasm I see now had me use lights also in the description of the product. So the better question would be,

    "can the reflectors be replaced with lights if desired?"

    I really like the new grills with the exception of the one with the bolts around the edge... that looks tacky to me. What is the price point you're looking to hit with these?

    I also like the third grill the best. Am not a fan of the reflectors. Would be sick if the grill held LED lights like a light bar. Would love the steps if they were sliders. Need a good pair of sliders.

    I agree sort of on the reflectors. I think the reflectors add a nice detail that would be lacking, but would be better if they were lit.

    As far as adapting for a light bar, the lower grille (the pig's mouth) is a better place for that IMO.

    The boards are just steps, not sliders.
    The reflectors were an easy drop in for picture purposes, our intent was to use LEDs.
    Several of these grilles styles will be brought to market in the near future, watch our website for updates. www.egclassic.com

    Thanks!
