DIY Grille Idea

Subject: DIY Grille Idea 1/19/2010, 9:47 pm

So I really like how the following grilles look. However, I'm not a big fan of the logos. Well mostly the price actually. So I was thinking there might be a DIY of it. Kinda like the satoshi grille mod but I don't want it to look like that deep dish style. and I'm not gonna just throw a mesh grille there. I like that little frame around the grilles though, without the studs.
Then I don't think if I'd wanna leave it blank so maybe get a more machined look toyota logo from RIjon or the word toyota like some tacomas. How do you guys think I would go about this? Any ideas?

I'm not 100%sure if I'm gonna follow through with it. Just an idea.

I'm going with a silver mesh grill.Just ordered today. What I am going to do is take my Toyota emblem from my factory grill and paint it black and secure to the mesh...Haven't decided where though. I am thinking maybe in a corner, but I guess you can never go wrong with dead center. If you wanted it totally custom and had the means, you could go to a machine shop and design something for them to cut out of stainless.

I could, but I'm sure in the end it'll be just as expensive as getting a grille like that.

But let me see pics of yours once you get it done

You could expand on the gun grill...GO with an urban theme: staple a 40 can (pronounced FOATY) next to the guns and maybe hot glue a crack pipe on the other side. To further the motife you could tie a bandana to one of the guns. Got to watch which color though.

Never settle. If that's what you really want. stick with your billet until you can get what you really want.

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/19/2010, 10:48 pm

Ya i seen the new one..... dont like it to much going on for me.... saw the lift too.. I am talking with Roland the owner right now so we may have some new things to look forward to.

alright, tell me when you hear new things. I really like some of the things that companies coming out with even though I can't afford more than half of it

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/20/2010, 10:23 am

I like the suggestion to create a design and have it fabbed. At least if you invest the money into it, you know for sure it's 100% unique because it's your personal creation.

And LOL @ Daniel's comment about the pink camera....as long as you get a decent shot....you gotta post something up for us soon, bro.

A "TRD" would be pretty cool...but if your truck is not trd then you would be committed to put something trd on your truck like a cai, lol

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/20/2010, 11:52 am

Actually, the TRD grilles DO look nice. And nah you can just use the emblems and be fine hehe....not sure on the cost part of it though.

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/20/2010, 11:54 am

I dont guess I've seen those...not sure I want to since I've just bought a grill yesterday.

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/20/2010, 1:32 pm

what TRD grille are you guys talkingabout?

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/20/2010, 2:42 pm

It's a nice mesh texture with a small TRD logo in the lower left hand corner. They might be for the Sequoia but it fits the Tundra too. I've only seen it in person.

I guess he didn't like my idea for the "urban" collage on the grill. I even had a name for it: "Urban Legend", DIY Grille Idea Lol

Subject: Re: DIY Grille Idea 1/20/2010, 9:05 pm
