FJZ80 Strut Grill - Satoshi Grill Mod Style

[94SRUNNER]

A very cool mod...can't wait to see pictures of the finished product!

That looks awesome! Maybe you'll need to bring that to CM09...

 

[sandcruiser]

looking forward to full-vehicle shot

Incremental build 1.4 - need to adjust the hood line where it is a little tight above the grill. The Toyota lettering will be painted the same color as the truck.

How are you getting to the hood release?

 

[Flank]

How are you getting to the hood release?

When the hood is released from the interior, it pops up to access the latch. Hood release is not handled through the grill.

That's right. My bad.

If anyone is/has done this to an LX and has kept the vastly superior "L" logo I would be much appreciated. I am trying to decide between doing this or getting MOT's screen which actually goes over the grill.

BTW, still dying to see pix of the new paint job!!

Vastly superior?

you mean in metal, or a cad file?

 

[NLXTACY]

Superior in pink panty'd-ness

 

[NorCalDoug]

You're missing the front valence piece.


Seriously, though, it looks REALLY good.

 

[treerootCO]

Front valance was too pitted to save so I sandblasted it down to bare metal and started over.

The Slee Shortbus bumper turned out better than I could have ever imagined.
