    I put one of those in a couple of years ago. I made a panel that fits in the space in front of the cup holders. Mine is celsius and I need to swap it out for a fahrenheit version once the weather warms up. As you said, it's pretty bright at night, but I've never looked into a way to dim it. I just put my phone or wallet over it to cover it up.

    I'm pretty sure you can order a color matched surround from any Toyo parts place. They come in all the colors. Now if they could just do hoods that way ;)

    Thanks for update! I was planning on mounting mine directly infront of me on the steering column, maybe I won't do that hahaha. I don't like bright lights in my eyes while driving at night.

    If it's just faded, take some black shoe polish to it.

    Agreed. I did my Tacoma for about the same. This will be for my 85 which I always buy the most expensive shit possible for :)

    It's roughly $300 more than a regular grill if you get it from a dealership. I've seen Pro grills down around $250 on special deals. The surround is another $120 or so.
    Chrome surrounds are a tad extra, unpainted black is cheapest

    That's the lower bumper cover. Your aluminium crash bumper lives behind it. It's a sacrificial piece. (Or at least it was in my case)

    Most likely it's the standard grill and colored surround. The grill seperatly is usually under $100 and the surrounds are $100+. They give good discounts so 187 is pretty good for the pair. Pro grills are crazy expensive, so add another 300 at least

    The 685 price I saw posted looks like full dealer price plus shipping. My dealership has the Pro grill for 450, and colored surrounds are 150. Add in shipping and you can see 685 isn't such a great deal. I know Camelback could beat that by at least $100. I've done lots of deals with them, all happy.
