    Good Morning Everyone!

    As I know similar threads are going on currently about Grill Replacements for the 2016, I would like to start this thread to see where the general consensus amongst the TW members are with respect to the Stock grill on the TRD Offroad & Sport.

    This thread is ONLY for TW members who have a TRD Sport or Offroad.

    This will also help me in deciding what I should do with my grill, as I am stuck an indecisive position which route I should take with my Offroad.

    Please post before and after photos if you have them.

    This thread should also help others in deciding as I see other threads go off on other subject tandems within the topic. Please stay on topic.

    As mentioned by a Well Known Member, here are some photo examples of each of the grills listed on the Voting List above:

    I like my vehicles to appear as plain as possible, the less it looks like money was spent at Autozone the better. Currently I'm partially debadged and completely sticker free (b-pillars and TRD bed side decals). I'm not actively seeking out a replacement grill but if I stumble across a SR grill swap opportunity I'll certainly be quick to jump on it. Nothing aftermarket or rattlecan for me, pretty much ever. At least where appearance is concerned.

    Leave it stock or go aftermarket. Plastidip looks incredibly cheap. And the sr5/limited grille is just plain ugly

    mats, flaps, and stickers. Extang solid fold 2.0. Mobtown sliders and full skids. AVS vents
    Other...haven't found one I can go with yet. So the OR grill stays for now.

    That must be an Offroad correct?

    Yeah, that looks perfect. Not at all flashy and looks factory to anyone that doesn't know. I dig it.

    Wow…strong words, and I completely disagree with both opinions. I think the black plastidip looks clean, and someone who has no clue what it is, usually love it. So far its my first choice…hate flashy chrome trucks that "look" pricy".
