    I color-matched the bezel. It had a surprisingly significant impact in reducing the overall chromeiness.

    How do you like those plastic window shades? I have seen the low profile type that looks like yours but have not heard much on how people like them.

    low profile avs in channel visors are meh. i think with a little dremel action i could make them much better by removing bottom lip and shaving down the front corners by the mirrors

    Wrong thread. This is for super-sized grills.

    But. Have you tried those bugs dipped in chocolate?

    I like the look and the functionality seems useful but don't want to spend the money on something that is just going to cause other issues or look bad. Did you mod yours?

    i didnt. and now they are on the truck and not coming off easily so ill leave them as is. just beware inchannel visors make a horrifying sounds when rolling up the window but dont seem to really cause any problems other than scratching up the glass in an area you cant really see

    I did my grill on my jetta black 4 years ago no clear coat, still no peeling. highway driving, country road driving, winters as well. No problems

    2 full cans were used though so its on there thick.

    Ordered the items online from a discount oem toyota parts dealer. You need 2 pieces for each side (chrome limited fog light trim and limited fog bezel).

    Custom Car Grills. Paid 80 bucks and about an hour of my time zip tying and gluing it on. Probably Put some sort of badge on it but I like the metal mesh. Changes the whole front end look.
