Default Painted Grille Mod complete!

Bought a painted grille from Sparks and filled in the silly top insert on the grille then painted it to match. I like it MUCH better.

Yes, I did it w/ advice from another member here who did his, Semcoll. Filled w/dynaglas after using a dremel and sand roll to remove all the paint and primer. Finished it with filler and epoxy primer. Be careful with the slots for the inner grille and keep them open. You can see blue tape behind the holes I used to keep them open.

Love the new grill. Did you buy a Pyrite colored grille first or was it another color?

Why the hell didn't Toyota make the grille like this from the get-go????? That totally changes the look of the truck. I love the way it gets rid of that last little bit of ugliness. Oh and one less orfice for water to run out of after a detail job.

Exactly, that insert was a pointless waste of plastic. Grille looks great.

I took it to a shop I worked at long ago and had them spray it for me, cost me a $40.00 bottle of rum. You should get it painted for under $100.00 at any good body shop.
