    Awesome Looking!
    I love the way it looks - sets the car apart. It gets a lot of double-takes. I didn't install the "Infiniti" emblem so it looks clean. Gives it a Bentley - like look. A little tough on the install because the screw extensions appeared to be bent but well worth it once I got it in. I have a "pacific sky blue" color so I made sure to spray paint the center bracket flat black so it didn't show through the grille. Really looks awesome.

    Need Pretty Good Cutting Skills
    Good quality material but you need a good saw and grinder and sum cutting experience would help. Order the entire grill shell is what I would recommend.

    Excellent Grille
    I decided to upgrade my stock grill because I just didn't like the look of it. This T-Rex grille looks so much better. I also believe the mesh will keep more bugs out compared to stock. I have yet to confirm that, however. The square spaces in the mesh are 1/4"x 1/4". Pros: Removing old grill is not that hard to do but with a caveat (I'll get to that in the cons). The fitment to the existing front of the truck was almost perfect. The hardware fit very well including the housing or bracket for the radar unit. The emblem fits in the radar bracket just fine. The stealth look is impressive. Cons: This con is not about the grille. It's about the emblem and some ineptitude on my part. You must handle the removal of the emblem with extreme care. There are 4 plastic tabs with barbs that need to be squeezed to disengage the emblem from the old stock grille. The plastic tabs are very fragile and unforgiving. They will break very easily if you are not careful. I was too hasty and too rough on the tabs and the result was I broke 2 of the tabs. I decided to take the Tacoma in for a re-calibration since I couldn't say for sure it didn't need it. I double checked the radar LDS after the recalibration and all seems to be working fine. Here is another mistake I made. I didn't check the new emblem installation when I got to my truck after the re-calibration. One day, a few weeks later, I thought I'd pop the hood and peek in there. Sure enough, one of the tabs was broken. That issue needed to be addressed immediately and I should have checked....... probably before I even paid the bill. So, now I don't really know for sure if the dealership broke the tab or it happened sometime later during normal driving. But so far, just 3 tabs are holding the emblem in place just fine. Overall, it turned out to be a very expensive affair but it looks so awesome on my Tacoma and I learned what not to do and what to watch out for. Hope this post helps the next guy or gal.

    Awful Installation
    Unless you're prepared to be extremely frustrated and are willing to damage your bumper/grill in the process don't buy this. It is one of the worst and most difficult to install items I have ever bought. Once it actually is on it looks cool but I don't believe it is worth the money and frustration.

    Amazing Grille
    Wasn't expecting a lot for the price. Turned out to be a great grille. Fit perfectly, zero issues there. I personally don't like chrome so I eneded up sanding and painting and that came out great with no issues either. I only wish there was a black option from factory.
