2018 OR Grill No More Chrome

The SR bezel is an OEM Toyota part. I didn't know it was even an option until the above poster made the point.

 

This is true, may have to use that to my advantage and see where it gets me.

 

Looks like black derp on one of your socks...

 

I'm not good at matching my socks anymore because my son has a habit of stealing random socks and either hiding them or giving them to the dog. He's 15. So I just wear whatever I grab, and own it like a rock star LMAO

 

mines... jesus christ you aren't in mine field or anything are you?

 

I got my SR Bezel ordered! That'll be it for chrome on my truck.. it was the missing piece. As a heads up, shipping showed $28 initially when I had my home address in, however I decided to ship it to my work address, it went down to $12.95. The business address brought it way down. Not sure why, but it was a no brainer at that point. I gave my local dealer a try, but they wanted $159 plus tax.

 

Anyone have a picture of the right plug to disconnect for the TSS emblem? Or could possibly point me in the direction of a video or forum with this information?

 

Do you have a part # for that? Its $90 at my dealership.

Yep, that's the part I ordered. For $90 you'll probably get it in one day from the dealership. I'd do that. Good luck. I think this will catch on. The pro grille looks great, but I didn't want to mess with the TSS personally. I've been given a false "brake". I know if I were to have issues and swapped out the grille I'd be SOL trying to get anywhere with the dealership. This way if there is an issue, I'm still covered under warranty.

 

Thank you!

 

I think a dark metallic grey color would contrast nicely without making the grill look too large.

 

I'm the most un mechanically inclined person I know so it kinda scares me to take the grill off. Watchin youtube videos looks easy but I never have anything go easy. I can picture not being able to get it back on with alarms goin off

 

Same here, I am gonna need some type of instructions/pictures or a video before trying this. Also does taking off the grill mess with any factory/dealership warranty?

 

Naw, you know those videos where they take off four plastic plugs and then pull it off? It is literally that easy. I guess if you have Safety Sense you have to unplug the Safety Sense too. Pull kinda up and back towards you and the grill will pop right off.

 

Thank you. If you see a battered '18 grill for sale next week, its mine.

 

I swapped out my 2nd gen grille no problem. I'm more worried about taking it apart and breaking tabs that will effect it's integrity. I'll watch a few more videos before I go at it.

 

Don’t plasti-dip! Scuff and use this;

It will give you the nice satin look of a black plastic grill. They also have gloss if that is your preference.

 

I was planning on a new one but I think I may try this. Looks like Auto Zone has it. Whatever I do I want permanent.

 

Lol. The way I look at it. I hate how it looks now. If I screw up, it can be fixed, just at a cost. Worth it to me to give it a try. This place has made me reach well beyond what I ever would have attempted had I not found it. Ask for help and you've usually got an answer in minutes. Other vehicle forums you can wait days for a single response and it's usually not good.
