I am getting a billet grille for my 1999, toyota tacoma, 2wd, sr5, 4cyl, yada yada yada... Anyway i found this one on this website. It clearly says it fits the style and year of the truck and its cheap, metal, and looks nice. http://www.grille4u.com/product_info.php?products_id=2845#I was just wondering if anyone has ordered with this company and gives it good mention. Any advice is helpfull, thanks.

That name sounds familiar. I ordered one for my Ranger from a company with that name on ebay. I'm sure its the same people. It looks nice, but it was not an easy bolt on. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought it said no cutting necessary. My husband and brother had to use a Dremel tool and cut the inside shell out of the old grill and pop rivet the new piece in. Like I said, it looks nice now and you wouldn't know any of that if I didn't tell you. Not sure if it would be the same with your truck, but just my experience. They did ship it fast and it was a good deal.

Ya, i found alot of their stuff on E-bay. Thanks for the installation warning. The older tacomas are kinda funky in way of grille mount. There is no shell, its all one piece and its snapped on using 4 points on the top and it LOOKS like its screwed on the bottom with 2 points but i havent looked close enough at the bottom. I called their line to check with a person and the lady said its was a full replacement so the old one needs to come totaly out. Its not a bolt-over or a cut out. I may be a little over cautious but i just dont want to deal with ordering the wrong thing. Thanks for the tip I cant wait to get rid of the ol' plastic piece o crap.
