Ok, so i have looked for hrs on the internet trying to find that mesh style black tundra grill with the trd sign on it for an 03 tundra. And I cant seem to find it anywhere. Can some one please tell me how I can find one?

No one makes these types of grilles anymore. You have to be patient and keep an eye propped open looking for a used one.

Your other option is a Sport Grille such as these: Accessories>Grilles Parts and Accessories for 2003 Toyota Tundra

roll your own? i guess, it would be cheaper to make your own i can promise you that!! TRD Tundra Grille, eBay Motors, Toyota items on eBay.com find the grill ya like and buy the emblem?

[Quentin18]

Question? How could i make one? also are there any chrome ones that would maybe look good painted black?

what dude?

You want a Limited Grille?

Or you want the Grille with the chic-lits cut outs?

The "TRD Grill" was part of the Ivan Stewart body kit that was available for the early (Chrome Bumper) Tundras. Toyota never made one for the later Plastic Bumper Tundras.

There was an aftermarket company called ATS Designs that used to make a grill for the later Tundras that looked similar to the TRD grill. PerformanceProducts4Trucks used to sell it, but I don't think they carry it anymore.

The Darrell Waltrip Edition DC's had a grill similar to the TRD grill, but I don't think it will fit on the ACs.

Also, check with Tundrav8Yamaha. He has a grill that (I think) came off the Terminator Edition AC. That might work for you.

Ya thats exactly what i was looking for.
How hard would it be to make one?
I mean wouldnt i basically just by a metal mesh and cut it to the size and paint it black. then buy a trd emblem and slap it on.
then take out the other grill insert and just switch em out?

not available for 03 in MX or mesh but it was for 2000-2002 they might fit but where you would get the exact measurements to compare would be the Question. the emblem would be an ebay thing! the link explains exactly how it was done!

i know a company selling tundra billet grills uppers for super cheap. im talking like $40-50 bucks cheap. they said they just want to get rid of stock so thats y they r going cheap. id say buy that send it to get powder coated then put on a trd logo..thats what im doing i pick mine up on next day off...hopefully wed...

[HOGWILD]

Then what will ya do since it does not match the lower grill, i would also like the upper grill to match the lower grill and just add the Toyota logo in middle on top section but i will not use rain gutter! i wanted something that matches the bottom grill which is mesh!

[Quentin18]

i was just thinkin of taking my grill off and looking at how its done and making myself one out of whatever materal i decide to do it with, painting it a matte black and then sticking it on and slappin one of those trd badges on it.
dont u think that would work?

[mxracer3502]

if done right it would work..depends on what you use though..

[Quentin18]

Idk exactly yet...
ha not like im using chicken wire or something,
but i need to find the right materal.
idk what exactly to use yet, i just figure ill go into home depo or like lowes and look around till i find the right materal
any suggestions?
