Changing Grills

[vjr021]

I have a 97, and was interested in getting rid of my sombrero grill for a "TOYOTA" grill.

Is this just a simple swap?

I don't think it is a simple swap, the headlights also need to be replaced, IIRC. If you are looking for a great TOYOTA grill mod, search for the Satoshi grill mod.

You do have to change the headlights if you are changing the grill. The mounting areas are different, now if you were able to create a mounting bracket on the grill then you could keep your headlights which would be much cheaper.
