First Mod: New Grille for 2005 Tacoma

DHL just dropped it off for me, I will take some pictures and will be installing it in a few days as I will be busy with school and work.

The Grille is actually inserts and the whole idea is to keep the radiator/condenser free of any bugs or debris. A very simple application, but my first one at that. No stainless steel, it is black in color (Which Wabbit will like I am sure ) and is slotted, verticallynot horizontally. Unless you guys think I should hold off until I take my truck in to get fixed for the chick who rear ended me and even bent my hitch last Friday.

Maybe a rear painted bumper might come out of this also.

Where is Mounds? I am located in Macomb County. As for anything, my truck will be in the shop. I could come meet ya guys though as I will have a loaner . That link you sent me, I think next year those guys will be getting my truck to make me a custom rear bumper.

As for the Grille, here is a link: http://www.cloud-rider.com/screens_s...p?vhcl_id=3358

Purely functoinal, as it looks unique.

Well, I was looking at it today and for some reason if I install it, I do not think I can access the hood latch. I know its a Toyota, but I still have to change the oil and air filter.
