    I love "pricey" looking trucks. If I wanted a fugly SR, I'd have bought one.

    I went thru pep boys with a crap magnet, got it all
    Undecided. I sanded it down and will check out line-X. If they want an arm and a leg, I will shoot it with an industrial black finish.IMG_0427.jpg

    I'd love to see more line-x examples as well. I'm curious if people are voting what they know and have seen. For example, I'm surprised how few votes the DB grill has got….love that one!…just pricey. For me, hard to justify spending $800-900 on a grill for purely looks (CAD money kills us).

    Toyota will need to release a 3rd gen Pro, so I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon.

    The black grille on the Desert Sand Off Road looks good, but thje DB Customz with LED cut outs is sweet.

    Not ditzing you guys, but I'm glad I have a '12.

    The DBCustomz grill looks sick except the price point as you stated above. And I don't like the exposed chrome rivets around the perimeter.

    Expensive add on for a grill. As much as a lift kit.

    IMHO I think that Line-X would make it look tacky. There is a fellow on here that used DupliColor Shadow Chrome (black) on a chrome grille and it came out pretty nice.

    Looks like you swapped out your grill for an SR.

    I voted for plastidipping but what I intend to do is have it painted. Not the whole grill, just the honeycomb portion, leaving the surround, the two stripes across the center, and the Toyota emblem in chrome. One of the guys posted pics of his plistidipped that way, I just prefer a more permanent and cleaner solution so I'll have it painted.

    And I'm in my mid 50s, the generation that doesn't seem to mind chrome and I don't mind it but even I think there is just too much chrome on that grill.

    Yes I put a SR grill in. Stopped just to look at this one to seen how much they added on to the sticker. Did not think it would be that much.

    What did you pay for your SR grill if you don't mind me asking.

    on my sport: 1st choice is to swap for SR/SR5 grill, but my 2nd choice is to have my guy at the body shop paint my grill black...leave the bezel chrome and the middle Toyota emblem too...they can easily be separated into 3/4 pieces making painting easier.

    Probably a 300% markup since it's being offered by the dealership.

    Looks to plain any way. Not a lot of characteristic to me.
