Nice grill, you make it yourself?
all the cars are sweet
Tank-q, tank-q!! Tank-q valley mud.
Yeah, the grill is home made! Ghetto style! Take a hack saw and hack away. Sand down the rough edges and fill in the holes with some bondo or fiberglass. Take it to a body shop to get painted (unless you're Henry :grin:

I guess I will go Henry style.... not that I know who that is
I will just go to toyota and get a spray can of my paint... I think that they had it... it matters how much it costs, otherwise I will go to Maaco and get those mofo's to paint it.

Henry is me and is also Hen92V6 - TTCC on Camryman. Check out the link below to see all my pics. Jeff is right, I paint a lot of stuff by myself...ie grill, spoiler, mud guards, sides....
The first step is to take a hand saw or a Dremel to cut of the middle pieces you don't want. On a previous version of the grill, I kept the center Toytoa emblem. You may wnat to do the same.
The stock grill is quite deep, so the next thing you want to do is to make it more shallow. Mine is 1 inch deep all the way around. When you are cutting, make sure you don't cut off any support parts.
Next is to sand down the rough edges, and fill in any gaps or gashes with bondo or fiberglass. A shop can help you do this, and also to get it repainted.
After that, you can cut a piece of mesh from Home Depot, and use wire ties to attach it to the grill. Just wrap the wire ties in inconspicuous places so it doesn't show.
Hope that helps.
