Trd pro like grill

God bless, $500 for that? There’s a few threads showing people retrofitting a Chinese knockoff TRD pro grille from a 3rd gen taco into your factory grill surround. Takes some work but probably less than half the price. I’ll see if I can find a recent thread.

EDIT: this one

I saw that thread before and have been thinking of trying it myself as well. Found this on Ebay right now, so could probably be done for under $150 altogether, and a lot of patience LOL.

Definitely will, but it takes a backseat to getting my Tacoma TRD suspension installed first...tired of looking at it sitting in the corner of my apartment LOL.
 
The grill is rad I can attest because I have one...but I'm probably the reason they're are being made for ridiculous price. A guy on Instagram contacted me a few times asking me to make him a grill but I'm too busy with work, school and a baby on the way. So he contacted SRQ and they now make em for a ridiculous price.They can aboslutely be done for less than $150 though. I purchased the grill on ebay a dremel and found some patience.

I've been meaning to make a thread on here about the grill and after seeing the price tag out there there this may be the right time. I'd rather see members spend their money on worth while upgrades than be taken advantage of.

Post more pictures! I’d definitely like to see what it looks like from different angles. I’m thinking of taking out the satoshi and going another route.
 
custom car grills, takes a little filler & sanding but pretty easy & $85...

Definitely interested in doing this. Always loved the newer Tacoma grille. I read somewhere that it's harder to do this on the 03-05 4runners .....can't remember the reason.

Interested in what the bottom portion looks like. Looks pretty much cut to fit on the top/sides. Interested on what you used to bond it all together as well.
 
For anyone wanting to go the bolt in route, I've got the DB Customz Grille for sale. Get it for a discount and no wait time. Here; https://www.toyota-4runner.org/for-sale-t4r-items/281504-fs;-2003-2005-4runner-dbcustomz-grille-$325-oh.html

The 03-05 grill has different dimensions and sits flush with the hood. I'm really invested in trying to figure out how to make this style grill out of my 04 grill, and it may be that I have to use a 2nd gen Tacoma insert. I'll be attempting to make it work in the next few weeks.

I'll attach a really rough looking photoshop of what it might look like. sorry for the low photo quality. Camera ss was set to something slow and I don't have a steady hand lol

I am glad to have found this thread. I saw these grills on the FB and was about to purchase one but found out they are coming from overseas through possibly Alibaba.com. I found the supplier there and made an order. It should be here in a month but I’m not in a hurry. Super excited to give the face lifted 4th gen another face lift.
