The front end is coming back together, piece by piece. I'm happy with the Toyota badge paint job- it looks good from a foot away, and looks perfect from 3 feet. 
If anyone wants to know, it IS possible to remove/install the radiator grill piece without disassembling anything else but the headlight bezel. It took careful mental and physical preparation, however. You'll need an 8mm Gearwrench, deft thread-starting fingers and a ton of patience, or a regular 8mm wrench and even more patience. But, it's back on.
Tomorrow I think I'll take the bezel to the powder coater and ask how much it will cost for them to sand- or media-blast it before they coat it. I don't really feel like spending another hour and a half with the wire wheel when they can probably remove the remaining paint in 5 minutes.
Remember when the front end looked like this!?
