i've seen one I think, i'll need to find it. It didn't look that interesting to me though.

I think the only realistic choices so far are stock grill or no grill

Picked up a new grill this winter, haven't used it yet.

Don't plan on getting a new grille for my vehicle, but best of luck to you!

Not sure why everyone maligns the grillcraft one so...it doesn't look that bad to me. Perhaps I'm just weird...that looks fine to me but I can't stand carbon fiber side skirts, ridiculous wheels, red interior/carbon fiber vinyl'd interior, halos, and red mood lighting, which seem to be universally praised around here.

I had a grillcraft on my tacoma and it was the best thing I ever did to it. Changed the look of my trucks front end and got tons of compliments.

To each their own. The grill reminds me of those metal meshes that cover speakers... like my 90s boombox (Something I can't 'unsee' when I look at the grillcraft). But than again, i'm undecided on a new grill. I just think it's hard to find a grill that matches the sleek aggressive look on the rest of the car. However, the hexagon(?) grill makes it really hard to clean.
