SR5 Grill Mod

Have seen this SR5 grill mod on a few trucks around here and think it looks GREAT. Wondering if anybody has a write-up or how to on how they did it? I.e attached the emblem and wired the light. Love the look. A link to the LED's:

I have been working on mine. I just cut the emblem surround out of it and popped the emblem on. I'm going to put some mesh behind it and repaint the grill

 

Here is a picture of my progress.

 

What did you cut out the emblem with?

 

Where did the "TOYOTA" come from?

 

ya would like to know more about this grille mod.

 

That's a FJ Cruiser emblem

 

Nice!

Would love to know the tool(s) you used to remove the original center Toyota symbol...? Also how are you mounting the "TOYOTA"? I was +/- putting mesh as well but am leaning towards it as way to mount the raptor lights.

Overall I think this a better looking & cheaper alternative to the TRD Pro Grill.

 

I used a drimel tool and a small back saw blade. I smoothes all the cuts with some sandpaper. The saw blade makes less of a mess because the drimel tool melts the plastic some. The Toyota emblem comes with little clips on the back. I will drill the holes close in the size and glue it on.

 

Awesome, thanks for the tips. What mesh are you going to go with?

 

I am not sure yet.

 

Any progress?

 

Dam it every time I see your posts, you avatar distracts me.

 

I need to paint the grill. It's been too cold so it's on hold for the moment.

 

Hey Woodrow,

I got mine here...

got an SR-5 insert yesterday and gonna be starting on this same mod pretty soon. I think I'm gonna go with a custom car grills mesh, just trying to decide if I want to pay for precut or not.

 

any progress?

 

Does any one know if an sr5 front grill can be used to replace the 2017 grill on the tac sport. I was just going to paint mine black, but if the sr5 black would fit I would prefer doing that.
Thanks!

 

Yes
