With more and more customers wanting the colored lettering for their grilles, we’re working on more subtle color/black lettering. Also in the works raptor style amber led lights integrated in the grille.
I believe the difference between the first two is just the $245 is unpainted and the $345 is with painted letters. He'll likely message you after purchase to find out what colour you want. I see he also has another listing for $450 for the whole thing painted.
Looks awesome. And your welcome glad I could helpFirst off I want to give a shout out to @RARE5.0 for telling me about this grille, I’m very happy with it!
I test fit my $106 AliExpress Raptor grille tonight and it fit great! I got the old one out with out breaking anything. The stock grille is back on and I plan to have this Raptor one painted before I put it back on.
A few differences I noticed compared to what I’ve seen on here:
- top of grille is beveled below the three top rectangle openings
- letters snap in, they don’t screw on like the others
- only uses the five bottom clips and two bolts on top, not side clips
- center bar/mesh is attached with screws making it very easy to paint a different colour
Hope this helps others as I couldn’t find much information on these grilles. If I can find the link I purchased from I’ll post it up here but as of right now I can’t seem to locate it.
Don’t buy it from there too expensive. If you don’t want to risk it with aliexpress get it from Toyota Accesories Guy https://toyota-accessories-guy.com/
Mine came from a seller on AliExpress but it doesn’t seem to be listed last time I checked.
Those are awesome. I’m not sure that I would be able to do that good of a job, though - especially with the wiring and all. It’s been a while since I read about it, but it sounds like the Stage 3s are good for novices like me.Make your own lights. They are super easy to do and total cost about $13. Mine turned out great.
This 3 light led will work with the grille.
There is a write up of the procedure, check out the write up here... https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/project-msfitoy-v3-0.2804/ It starts around post #6. It covers everything and is very easy. Whichever way you go, I wish you luck!
Thank you for the great info. I am still a ways off from upgrading. This may help me save enough money to get permission from the wife.
Even if those orange letters don’t match you can get an aerosol can of your exact paint colour and spray them yourself!I would definitely buy this grille if I could get the orange letters to match my saber Ranger. Does anybody know if the Stage 3 Raptor lights (3 light version) would fit on this grille?
