2008 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Quality of the machined grille was excellent, however the shipment from the factory is poor in that there is no protective padding of any kind wrapped around the grille. There have been issues of damaged grilles due to improper packaging! The installation instructions are very poor, and the photos are insufficient for installation (close, but insufficient); the instructions are also incorrect regarding the removal of the factory grille shell! I had to visit a local dealers body shop to obtain information on the removal of the grille shell so as not to damage the part (plastic lower attachment mechanism). Once the grille shell was removed, the removal of the center section of the factory grille was uneventful and the job was easily completed. I opted to paint the entire area where the grille center was removed (I highly recommend this); I used Duplicolor spray paint for this. My experience level is expert, as I previously co-owned an autobody & paint shop & performed all aspects of the business. The grille looks great! Note: I used black metal washers under the mounting screws, which were purchased from a local Ace Hardware store for a better fit of the screw against the grille (recomended).

I put the main grill on last summer,it looked great and was very easy to install. The bumper grill was just as easy to install and really improved the over all look of the front of my V6 Mustang .

Great product. Prompt delivery. Installation for the 94 Ranger was a snap. It took no more than 1 hour to remove the old grille, drill 2 small holes and install the new grille. The fit and finish are excellent. It gave my 94 a whole new look. Thanks to Carriage Works and Performance for a good job all around.

Item Looks great after installed. Took about two hours. Recommend using a sawzall, not cutting wheel as shown, to cut out old grille. Instuctions are alright, must have a little know how to install. Also be carefull with grille and be mindfull of the surface youre working on, mine scratched a little, recommend something soft.

This grille is very nice and well built i have installed alot of grilles and the fit of this one cant be beat.

Product fit was excellent. Installation was very easy and just as described in the package, no surprises. Fit and finish is excellent, looks great on the car. I highly recommend this if you want to give your Five Hundred a unique appearance.

Instructions hard to understand, very vague. Take your time cutting factory grille and it will look great!

The grill looks great. Only complaint is that on the website under installation instructions it says no cutting required but when you get the product you do have to cut out the honeycomb section of the stock grill.

Was able to drill for mounting with lower factory grille still in place, even though instructions said to remove it. Went smooth and looks great.

Installation went smooth and looks great. Take your time removing the factory grille and you will be really happy with the results.
