I don't know if it's the same thing, but I remember doing something similar to my import racer a while back with wire mesh etc etc. God I wish I still had the photos of that car. lol.

Just wonderin, where did the "Satoshi mod" come from? It sounds JDM-ish. lol Did Toyotas from over seas have this? or did someone come up with this?

Willy1

I think it looks like an older edition toyota not sure but thats my guess. The mod looks great if I can figure it out.

Ooh i see. The 89-92 Toyota trucks had TOYOTA on the front instead of the emblem.

here's what most people use lol http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CIRCL...Q5fAccessories

i can't see it good enough, make the pics bigger?

did you paint your chrome grille surround too? or what...if so...i believe you needa repaint it lol cuz it looks like it's chipping

Willy1

Yeah so this mod kinda recreated the look which looks awesome!

camo31_10.50

i think someone just came up with it, there might have been a company overseas called Satoshi that made a grille, then went out of business? i have no idea honestly lol

Jaino240

@Camo: Yeah thats what I was wondering too.

camo31_10.50

yours look like it's flush with the BACK of the grille.

mine is going to be flush with the FRONT of the grille...if you can't my drift?

atleast it might, ima see what looks best then do it that way lol

Willy1

I did repaint it lol. looks bad in those pic's.
I painted the surrounding chrome black and the mesh in it. I think I might pick up some of that mesh looks better. I would like to have a step by step right up if anyone can do that for me and what parts they used. I will try and take better pic's tomorrow.
Thanks

This mod was named from its creator Satoshi Miura. Here is some info on how it started and the official write-up:
