    I have only owned her for two weeks but the chrome had to go. It took me about 20 minutes to install the TRD PRO insert. Turned out beautifully I think. I plan to dip all the badges including the new badge gunmetel when it's nicer weather.

    No, just the insert. The insert replaces chrome insert and chrome bezal.

    Definitely the most ludicrously overpriced piece of plastic I've ever bought. Also has brought me by far more enjoyment than any other useless hunk of plastic I've ever overpaid for.

    Truck looks clean! I like the grille badge.
