    You could switch to a different trim grill if one looks better to you.. after market grill if none of the Toyotas look good.. or you could do what everyone else does and go with the Pro grill.. but in my opinion I love the look of my 2020 OR Grill over the Pro.

    Got'em!

    OP, the OEM OR / Sport 2020+ grille look by far the best besides the Pro but everyone has those now. There are a lot of after market ones, metal mesh / plastic etc

    Paint it or replace it. I actually like the look of a blacked out cheese grater.

    Sounds like a good idea to me. I think it would look good black.

    You can find other options for pretty cheap, usually the early SR/SR5 grille’s are plentiful in local classifieds. I prefer the newer ‘20+ OR/Sport grille and recently replaced my ‘16 SR5 grille with that one.

    You could spray yours black if you need to save money

    I hate my 2017 OR grille too. I found very cheap SR grille on FB and swapped it.

    Happier than had PRO grille.

    The front end of the Tacoma's stick out too far to begin with without adding a damn pro grill to them.

    I wanted my grill to be as flush as possible. T Rex billet.

    I wish Toyota made more OEM ‘Heritage’ options with ‘TOYOTA’ spelled out.

    I greatly dislike the sombrero logo and find the aftermarket grills to be too aftermarket looking.
    So PRO grill it was for me. I like it better than anything else.
