I like it! Had mixed to positive feelings on it last night, but feeling better about it in some natural light.

Anyway, here’s the doggo I promised:

Yeah, this is pretty much what I do after work: stare at my car and play fetch with doggo.

Looks sharp!

Also, working on cars and playing with dogs is the dream life

You flatter me with the use of the word “work.” It’s three plastic tangs, two plastic washers, and a short screw.

Your after work routine is awesome.

I’d still manage to find a way to screw it up.

Previous owner already broke two washers, so there wasn’t much left for me to break.

Remind me what was wrong with the previous grill

It was an aftermarket grille with no logo. I wanted to see what it would look like with a factory one.

IMO, it looks better with its face back in.

Doggo always looks good. *boop!

Sharp! Now do me a favor, throw a massive front mount intercooler in that bumper. Use a 6466 to fill that intercooler. Then, sit back and watch magic happen haha.

I have a confession, I really am not mechanically inclined. To me, it’s work

Looks way better with OEM front grill. You can see the supra roots at this angle too.

FWIW, I usually use toyotamarket.ru to reference parts fiche. Here’s the IS300 wagon. And if you navigate to the grille , you can see the plastic clip #53145-16010. It’s a standard part, so somewhat common on various Toyotas and Lexi, around $3/ea.

I’ll usually use this for an exploded parts diagram and will search the p/n on various other websites to see how expensive it is. If it’s a cheap plastic part or hardware that’s questionably bad, I’ll just order a replacement beforehand. Hopefully it makes your tasks easier!

I can’t take the grille off of my Accent without removing a crap ton of screws....intelligently, they are all attached from the bottom up, so are almost impossible to remove without taking the whole bumper cover off.
