I heard the quality of the prepainted grille is horrible.

Couldn't agree more the TRD grill is a better solution.. If you all can hook up a group buy on the TRD one count me in..

The think the reason why is because it seems like more people have been asking for the RMM grille than any other. There were many posts in the Classifed/forum asking for a RMM grille. I could be wrong though..

I don't like the TRD grille. Don't like the thin mesh that you can see everything behind through, and I like the center bar on the RMM grille.

Is it grill or grille?

Just drove by a local paint shop...They will sand it down, primer and paint for $100. For every grill with the same color, its $50.

example: 4 silvers, 3, blacks, 2 blues.....

$100, $50, $50, $50 - Silver
$100, $50, $50 - Black
$100, $50 - Blue

Depending on the price.... I am in!!! RMM, Blitz, or Admiration grill are the only ones I am considering. Price could be the deciding factor...................

If the price is right I might be in... I love the RMM grill(e) and this is a great excuse to get one!!

I think the TRD grille is ugly personally. I don't see why everyone is into having all that "mesh" on their car... It's just cheap chicken wire that you could find at home depot!! To me it makes it look cheap!! (i know imma catch slack for this)

As far as TRD grille, in my mind, you're paying a ton of money for a grille that consists of 12"s of plastic around the edge and 2 ft. of cheap chicken wire in the middle!!

I've seen TONS of grill(e)s in person and I like the RMM. The quality and fitment of it is great!! Don't let everyone who has a TRD grille fool you...

I do like what DEXTER did tho... putting the L in the middle the TRD. Looks great!!! I just don't think it's very sturdy...

All,

I've got the RMM and couldn't be happier. I got it painted by a local shop for $70. Many people say the RMM doesn't fit right, but mine fits fine. Maybe other grills are bent/warped? IMO the RMM offers a sporty yet subtle look. IMO, the TRD "shows too much." Maybe if the "chicken wire" was a different color, it would look better.
