Thanks for the pics.. I finally got my hilux a week ago and tried on the ebay grille, but yes the gap is massive! probably around 30mm. And I don't really like the look after all, so I didn't install it. $140 down the drain
But what I did instead is to plastidip the factory grille black to match my wheels and nudge bar etc. I have the same genuine toyota aftermarket rims, but I got the matt black version. I even plastidipped the chrome part of the grille that is stuck to the bonnet, this looks heaps better. Mine is just an SR though so there are already lots of black features (like sides of the headlights, mirrors etc). I just left the toyota symbol in chrome, everything else on the grille is now black. I completely pulled apart the grille to do this. Will post some pics soon
