    I used Plastidip on my 2017. Not sure if yours has the radar behind it or not but if it doesn't it's a fairly easy process.

    Unfortunately I don't know anything about those radar's. In theory, paint shouldn't affect it much (coming from a former radar tech in the military) but these things are significantly smaller and I believe don't work in the same exact way...

    I suppose if you could figure out a way to get the glass off and back on without breaking it.

    Or just upgrade to the TRD Pro grille that is TSS compatible. I have seen any aftermarket grilles that are compatible with the TSS equipment.

    Originally plastidipped my entire grille, then ended up color matching the Toyota T. Thankfully I didn't have to deal with TSS in my 2017.
