3rd Gen Grill Question

Is there anywhere that sells a black replacment instead of the original chrome that goes around the grill?

I see a lot plastidip theres, but was wondering if there was somewhere that sold a black replacment. I like the black grill the TRD comes with. And I see pro grills everywhere now

If you did plasti it, how is it holding up and how does it look compared to the glossy looking black grill?

 

You can order the OEM Black SR Bezel from just about any Toyota Dealership and use the OR Black insert. Did this to my silver 17 and looks very nice. There is a thread here with the part number but the dealer should be able to locate this easily. Think they run about $87. May be cheaper to find someone selling the whole SR grill locally. I wouldn't platidip a grill bezel. Will peal over time or installing it.

Thats where I got mine from, quick shipping and has held up really well. I plastidipped mine at first and after a couple weeks it was covered in debris and bits of my microfiber wash mitt. Definitely worth spending the money on the genuine black bezel

 

Itll work for an 18 obviously right?

 

I don't see why not. The bezel is exactly the same, you guys just have all the fancy radar extras. If you're looking for a nice aftermarket grill and don't want the typical pro grill everyone has, check out https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...coma-grill-mesh-bezels-new-price-drop.394542/. Matt just made them compatible with your TSS senor. Just another option

 

Black SR grill bezel on a 2018 OR... Fits perfect, looks way better and no worries of your plastidip peeling off... Took about 15 min total to install...

 

Does the entire grille need to be removed to replace the bezel?

 

Yes. 2 10mm bolts, 2 plastic pop rivets and then pull it out. Easy.

 

Pretty cool idea.

 

Where did you get it?

 

Nice ill check it out.

Here is a OEM Bezel for $30

 

Picked it up at the local Toyota dealer as they had one in stock. Was $88 plus tax. Could have probably found it cheaper, but I’m not that patient...
