Hey group. Been a while since I was in here looking around. I just swapped grilles (again). This time I went for one piece CNC machined billet one piece aluminum upper and lower. I like the look.

5000 miles and LOVING the Box!

What do you guys think?

Thanks. It's a daily driver so I'm not going tofar out on the custom limb. I just want a little different and clean. I do love some of the really custom stuff being done but it isn't me right now.

Where did you get those grills? Also do they make em without the opening for the badge?
Very clean!

Bought them on FleaBay of all places. Seller's name is Grille4you - I bought from this guy a couple of times and had good luck. He's the only place I could find the CNC machined one piece grilles for my xB.

Unfortunately they don't have one for the upper without an emblem. I would have been all over that. (see pic of my truck) Pardon the non-Scion pic.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been out on business for a while.

These are not the typical billet strips with a small piece added to hold them. They are machined out of one piece of aluminum. Integrated into the design are screw holes that allow screws to go through the factory plastic grille. The metal is much thicker than other billet inserts. It's stronger than the surrounding parts, so I can't see how it would not hold up. Mine are great so far.

The only initial concern I had was whether or not enough air would flow through to cool properly. After several days of well over 90 degrees in traffic with the AC on for a couple of hours, the gauge has stayed well on the cool side just fine (no different than before the install).

I have NOTHING to do with the seller and I don't sell this stuff... just telling what I have experienced.
