I want to buy a center billet grill for my truck and Im confused as to how Im supposed to access the hood release latch with the grill in place. Also how much drilling is required anyways? Heres the one I want http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-04-Toyota-Tacoma-Classic-Billet-Grille-Grill-02-03_W0QQitemZ150042436142QQihZ005QQcategoryZ33645QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I have the B-cool billet. I can still pop the hood with no mods. Its really not a huge issue. Its a Toyota anyway. You shouldnt need to work on it. :lol:

The degree of difficulty with the hood-popping issue seems to vary with which billet grille you install.

Many CT-zens have reported still being able to open the grille with a bit trickier maneuvering than before. Others report being limited to having to use something thin or flat (e.g., a screwdriver) to pop the latch. There haven't been many reports on how well the vendor-supplied hood latch extensions have worked out.
