Purple skid? Hmmmm....I probably wouldn't have mentioned that if knowone could notice If you get bored with the hoodie emblem....you could always put it on a chain and wear it.....

I saw that gold one earlier. That one is definately beyond bling..... I've seen Toyota emblems that glow neon.....Oh no....I shouldn't have mentioned that....someone will want one.......

The griil does look good though..........

get one of these

aviator

That would look good as a Hood ornament... in silver

infiltrator

I would attach that to the Satoshi stuff... That gives me ideas..

Quick question, people paint their Satoshi mesh stuff right? Does it peel or anything? Or do I buy it in black?
Also, how do I attach ornaments on it? Such as the Yota SYMBOL, not the letters, I like the symbol much better.

aviator

The symbol is bolted on to the factory grill so just get some nuts and washers and you're good to go.
Painting or not painting is up to you... some folks have used the flexible black plastic screen/mesh while most seem to use the metal screen/mesh.
Any good quality metal should work well just follow can inst. and make sure it is well shaken before and during painting. You could add a coat of clear as well if you wanted some extra protection from stone dings.

The best version of the Satoshi I have seen is the one of a dude from Ireland. It was metal just like that one, but had the "Hilux" logo down in the right bottom corner as you look at the front of the grill. Holy smokes that looked hot. Otherwise, I think it is a waste of a mod.

Sloan

do you mean this one?

ETRNL

^^ i really liked that one maybe if i get some kind of paint scheme i will paint the grill to match. i am shocked that one of my posts has hit 2 pages!!
as for a waste of a mod??? the main reason i did this was to place lights behind it... so it does has a function. and for 7 bucks.. it the cheapest i have done...

aviator

that previous previous satoshi has got to be one of the best looking I've seen.

Man4God

Yep, that is the one! I just like functional mods...I would rather not spend money on just looks. I would rather have a nice set of tires than spend money on rims...but that is neither here nor there.

Hey guys thats my Hilux cheers for the comments.
Took a while to get it sorted but i always take my time with mods to get them the way i want.

Ron Helmuth

very cool looking stephenmarr-nice work

aviator

what colour paint did you use to redo the chrome parts of the grill, it looks great but is hard to ID in the pic.

stephenmarr

@aviator
mine wasnt chrome so i just sanded it down primed it up and sprayed it a peugeot graphite grey bought from my local auto store.

aviator

Thanks... it looks great better than the chrome IMO.

Mod looks cool, I am ready to my Satoshi grill too. I am looking to put an older Toyota emblem on the mesh part of the grill, most likely off to one side, not centered.

Your hood ornament: reminds me of the Hilux (Tacoma) Trucks over here in Japan - some have a nice Hilux emblem as a hood ornament - looks sharp. I have not seen a Toyota emblem like yours as a hood ornament though.

I am going to go with black mesh.

I like the grill, looks nice but the hood ornament kills it.
It's a 4runner, not a Cadillac.

ETRNL

i want a cowl induction hood so maybe when i get that i wont put a hood ornament on it. untill then there is no way i am getting that off with out ripping paint off of my hood. i spent 18 hard earned dollars to get that shipped from hong kong. no way its coming off. i like to stand out in one way or another..

aviator

Just had a thought, re: hood ornaments... what about a smaller version of an anti-air gun sight?
food for thought...
