looking for specific type of grill, any suggestions

has anyone seen a grill insert like this for a tacoma,
http://www.trdusa.com/partscatalog.cfm?subcategory=26
it is a honeycomb design similar to the piece in between the front grill and the headlights,
i like the look of this one listed on the trdusa.com page, plus it looks like it clips in leaving the stock grill and toyota logo intact, i have seen many other grills in this forum and also searched the forum for different types of grills, but i dont believe ive seen any exactly like im looking, if this is a repeat post, allow me to apologize in advance, does anyone know where i might be able to get something like this?

to clarify, im looking for something like this,
but for a tacoma of course, grill inserts in a black honeycomb design that fit around the factory grill, crossbars, and toyota emblem, i really perfer the look of that TRD grill at the above hyperlink, but have had no luck finding it

the chevy shown has Stret Scene Speed Grills in it, may want to look up their site, they may have them for taco's

those TRD ones do look sick and I would want one too. The site does say coming soon so maybe they are available at a local dealer just not on the site or they might be out soon and the site really is current.

cool, thanks for the info guys, that is very close to what im looking for, i really like the look of this grill, but also i like the black factory horizontal cross bars and chrome emblem on our factory setups, something like this would be perfect if it fit in the openings between the cross bars on the grill, i guess they dont make products for every possible application, but maybe this is a mod-able solution to what im looking to do

4th Generation anyone with grillcraft experience, is this possible?

after doing some thinking, it seems like i could get the look im going for by taking off the factory black grill, removing the veritcal support tabs (4 on top, 4 on bottom), install a black Upper MX SERIES STEEL MESH grillcraft grill and reinstall the factory black grill on top of this, remove the lower grill and install the Lower MX SERIES STEEL MESH grill, this would allow me to perserve the factory grill look i want, but still fill in the gaps with the mesh look found in the corners of our grill, what do you think??
1. Is this possible? can the grillcraft grill be installed far enough back to allow for the factory grill to be reinstalled over it, or is there another way to do this?
2. Would the factory grill be strong enough without the vertical support tabs, they dont look like the provide much support, it looks like most of the strenght comes from the vertical bars?
any help from members of the forum would be greatly appreciated, i have gotten alot of inspiration from pics on this forum, but i dont want to copy someone elses setup, if i could ge this mod figured out, i think it would be really cool and unique.

I was checking out the trdusa website and it says that the intake, catback, headers, etc. are all available soon. So, they may have the grill you were looking for anyway.

Yeah, I noticed this too, I'm heading up to the dealer today to get my plates, so I'll ask them about the grill.

Selling black grillcaft

Hey Jacobu, I have a brand new black Grillcraft. I bought it from performance Products for $185, selling it for $140 if interested. I have it in the wrapper and in the box, I did not put ti on my truck because I bought the Lundscreen grill.
