    Ok, I'm getting ready to do a laundry list of purely aesthetic mods before it gets too hot over here to paint and work with decals. First on the list is a new grille. I'm torn between these two:

    I would color match the one on the top. Both are the same price. Opinions?

    The mesh looks cool but looks like cheap plastic. I voted for the Pro grill since thats always a good look

    Also, if you want to save some dough, painting the chrome isn't too tough. Mine took about 4 hours (less if you don't have ADHD).

    Yeah, I was thinking about putting an emblem like this. It would add like 20 hp as well

    Get that in the Raptor font and it'll add at least 35hp AND increase mpg by like 12

    Go with the pro. The mesh looks like a bug screen.

    Both nice grills!! but if you go with the mesh don't put does Raptor lights or the raptor lettering.
    Don't insult your nice tundra by trying to look like ford raptor. ;) That's my opinion.

    Go with the mesh. I'm not a big fan of the huge Toyota lettering. They can pay for their own advertising.

    I second this ... Either go with the Pro grill or if you decide on the mesh forget the Raptor lights and do either Toyota or Tundra lettering.

    Not a fan of copying or any attempt to copy or look like a Ford. I would rather see a Ford attempt to copy or look like the TUNDRA beast! :D:thumbsup:

    Well, that was a little more lopsided than I thought it would be. Now I just need to wait for the TRD grille to come off of national back order.
