What do you think of this Grille?

Well...I had my cousin combine a ford honeycomb grille and my stock tundra grille in photoshop (I wish I had those skills). I want to do something like this, but I'm not even sure if its possible. Give me your honest opinions.

I think it would look better without the stock chome bar running across the middle (e.g. all honeycomb). May even want to ditch the Toyota emblem. Just a thought.

Ya I thought that too...maybe remove the bar and leave the symbol?

Any ideas on where to get a sheet of something like this?

Not sure. You might try searching the archives, I think another member actually did a similar mod and then sold the grill. Sorry, wish I could help.

I've thought about getting a new grille, but using the new Toyota truck from the recent adds on it (looks like a 3-D bolt). Anyone else tried/thoght abou this? If so, how hard/ cost to make it?

I work for a Steel Service Center/Fabrication Shop, When we require some material like this for a job, we usually turn to Mcnichols

http://www.mcnichols.com/

Mcnichols is a company that specializes in perforated steel, I think you can even get stainless in something like that. The online catalog aparently does not show their whole line of perforated metal, I know for a fact that they carry "honeycomb" pattern, I would request a paper catalog, that has it all. Problem is the price may be a little steep.......Hey "It ain't nothin' but money"

Rizico...thanks a ton for that website. I just requested a catalog. I didn't see anything in honeycomb...but they had just the round which might look good too. I will try calling them up and seeing the price. Thanks again.
