    Me and my friends. I’ve been wanting a TRD Pro grille. Kinda expensive. My dad actually bought the side steps and hood deflector. I bought mudguards. I want the TRD Pro grille but since I have the 2018, I’m kinda scared to mess up the radar. (Not that I use it 95% of the time but Im sure it can save my life. Note the can) I’ll probably end up buying the fake trd pro grlle with the plastic coverup thingy. But i’ve been saving for the custom ovtune when it comes out.

    I also want some retrofit headlights with different colored halos that u can change via phone/bluetooth but that’s expensive. and there’s something about putting headlights in an oven, that makes me cringe. Anyways, it’s been awhile

    I mean yeah it is. I can see why people say it isnt but I learned to make it smooth. Cant believe it took me 5 months but now I’m smooth. Only problem I have now is the rev hang but I got used to it.

    Please don't put your headlights into an oven that you use for food.

    I had the grill from BAMF which was awesome until it cracked the surround - the extra weight will fracture the plastic over time especially in cold climates.


    So TRD PRO it is for me.
