    I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma Limited. The whole truck is Midnight Black and chrome except the front grill where they decided to paint it grayish/Silver. I don't like it, and the chrome is not too over bearing.

    Here is my question I bought a 2017 Radiator Grill Insert; I am going to paint it to match the color of the truck but the decal in the center is different. Not leaving a space for the front sensor to be attached. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can accomplish this? A mounting system I can attach on the backside of the insert?

    This thread explains a little more what I am talking about. I need a mount for the insert.

    You need a 2018 grill from a Sport, that would look best and I'm sure you can find one on CL or FB.

    Already made the purchase for the 2017 Grill insert but, I am going to find a mount to hold the sensor on the back side. Stay tuned may write it up.
