If you come up with anything let Toyota know. Their new grilles are the ugliest I've ever seen. Boring is better than barf.

Realistically speaking, provided this photo for reference... is this possible to put on a first gen. Smaller version.
Any ideas ... would be highly appreciated.. ( parts or material I can find... )

After many many searches and recommendations I have Finally created/built the most bad a** Indestructive unique grill that will not only protect my radiator but will make people get out of my way !
First picture; a drunk driver ran a stop sign and hit the side of my sienna which caused fender to be replaced and cracked my grill, now fender can't really be custom made, ( for siennas ) however a grill.. hell yes!
So that gave me an idea and a opportunity to create something cool so I can fix my grill and prevent future damage from occurring as well as getting rid of the old dull boring look.

P.S this is all hand carved with drills, hack saws, and drumel tool, laser cutting company was quoting me $250 which was twice the original grill price.
Project duration was 1 week few hours a day, keep in mind this is extremely tough material which is the thickest diamond aluminum sheet available 6061-T6 1/4 thickness. Have be on the ride for 2 years now.. and it did its purpose already. How? the bend part you see in the letter Y was from a concrete bag which flew off a construction truck on the freeway at high speeds... drove away with no damage literally.
