@2012 - 2015 Tacoma Faux Pro Grille.(CLOSED). Available On Website

I don’t think it would look bad with colormatched letters, but I have to say my bumper bar covers the letters lol.

 

Showed up today! No complaints whatsoever, quick shipping. Will get it paint matched tomorrow hopefully and installed Thurs/Fri. Will report back then.

 

Just installed mine today, install was pretty easy as long as you take your time to not break any little plastic pieces. Also had to use pliers to remove the rubber weatherstripping on top.

 

Nice!

 

Looks like most people are very happy with the order.. need to color match my grill surround

 

This waiting game sucks lol! 6 days to go...

 

Hang in there TT.

 

Alright guys mine is installed!!!

Arrived in great condition. All markings and fastener holes and slots are accounted for.

The Toyota letters fit in only one way, so you can't install it upside down. It takes (8) self tapping screws (provided) to connect to the grille. The (4) on the outside of the letters didn't seem long enough but are staying in, accept (1), one won't tap into the plastic and falls out.

Disassembly of the surround from stock insert is tedious, but not difficult, just pay attention and don't pull too hard.

Installation is quick & easy. Used the stock weather stripping on the new insert, with no problems. I was even able to peel off the stock vibration foam and reinstalled it on the new insert.

I'm very happy! Thanks @CaliRaisedLed

 

Thanks for detailed info, that looks really good.

 

Also I didn’t take pics really but for removal here is some basic written directions.

First install the toyota letters onto the new grill. 8 screws, the 4 in the middle I was able to get tight, the 4 on the sides didn’t get tight but still threaded on a little.

Remove your stock grill.
On the back side there is 12 or 14 torx screws. I used a size 15 but I think T20 is the correct size.

Next you will need to unhook the clips from the stock insert. I used a flatblade screw driver to push them up lightly, then used my thumb to push the tab down so it didn’t get caught on the insert. Slowly work your way around the whole insert until you get them all removed.

Once you get that removed there will be some weather stripping on your insert you need to transplant onto the new grill.

I used pliers to squeeze the clips together then push the clip in with the pliers and help yourself by lightly pulling up from the weatger stripping. Most of them are on the back side of the insert, but two of them are on the front. The fronts are only accessible after surround has been removed.

Install the weather stripping on the new grill, then lightly press the surround and insert back together. Double check on the backside that all clips are seated securely. Reinstall the torx screws, and slap that bad boy on your truck.

I’d say the longest thing for me was finding a darn torx bit for my screw driver. Good luck everyone.

 

Everything looks good.

 

Thanks for the heads up on torx but I can I can pick them up on the way home

 

Looks good. Wonder what it will look like on pyrite with chrome surrounding.

 

Thanks! I used to have the chrome surround but got a color matched one on eBay.

 

I will if it bothers me. Going to install in chrome to see how it looks.

 

Mine's coming in next Wednesday! WOOHOO!
As far as install goes.... probably gonna need a video on how to do that!

 

I might make a picture tutorial sat.

 

Were in the same boat, I hope it looks ok, wife will not be giving me a yard pass to spend another 200 on surround.

 

That would help me very much!

 

Hell no. I'm in the same boat.
