Adio3x grille install!

[limamike]

Got my grille from Adio3x in the mail this evening, and I just finished-up with the install. I initially couldn't figure-out how to get the upper grille piece off without removing the entire bumper until I came back upstairs and found TOYSTRY's thread on how to remove everything. It took me maybe an hour from start to finish, but only because I had to stop once I got the cowling removed and come upstairs to search the forum for an answer on how to remove the top portion of the bumper assembly. I'm confident that if I knew what I was doing from the get-go it would have taken 20 minutes tops. Anyway, I think it looks a lot better than stock (aside from my truck being a mess right now)!

Good question! I've got my list going, and I'm not sure what I want to hit next.

Thanks for making this thread Dave, glad you like it. Anyone else interested, I'm taking orders! :biggrin2:

Adio - can you post some up close pics? How are you making these?

FWIW, I just purchased something non-t4r related from Adio3 and the item was received in a timely matter and in great condition.

:hatsoff:

I'll get some pics up tonight. Basically this is how its made, the stock grille is used as a bracket to hold the new grille. I don't use Grillcraft, the diamonds are a lot smaller than the stock diamonds, plus that alone is like $200. I order sets of mesh, handcut it to fit the stock grille. Secure it in, get the LC emblem and stick it onto the grille. Then you have to remove your stock grille, remove the upper trim and reinstall it to the new grille. DONE, Satoshi grille!

I price by what I have to buy. I only charge about $20 for labor.

~Stock grille~ $160
~new grille ~ $60
~Toyota Emblem ~ $50
~misc ~ $30
~Shipping ~ Flat $30 in the USA.

Total = $330 or send me your stock grille -$160

Take it from someone who has done this themselves... That is one great deal! I envy you for only charging 20 bucks for your time! :trophy:

Yeah, not a bad deal at all. I don't have room at my place to do the mod myself, and I'd rather have Adio do it since he's done it at least a half dozen times or so! He turned it around in about a week, too!
