    Holy shit did the OP tke alot os shit for this. I don't think anyone should take offence to anything he said, or even the title. Obviously the Satoshi grill is going nowhere, so I don't see why that upset anyone. And he obviously got our attention, even though I'm late to the party. Just my .02.

    Anyway OP, I think it looks great, I have been looking forward to see this done on the 2012, thinking it would make that front end grow on me even more, which it did with this grill! I was waiting for Homer to get his done to see, but he was taking too long.:D j/k Homer! Seriously though I was looking forward to see it, and think it turned out great!

    Nice work. Come on ya pr@#ks give the guy a break, he made a DIY for others interested in doing this mod. I know I and many others on here couldn't have built our satoshi grills without a DIY from TW. I think people also looked a little to deep into the title of the post. It's corny but still just a title who cares.

    I think the grille looks great, and I'm pretty sure most of the guys bashing the original poster are the same guys who are too afraid to get their pretty little hands dirty and decide to go pay someone else $400 to have it made for them.
