New here and would love some advice!

I've been eyeying Gen 3 Tacomas for a while and was never in a financial position to get one. Recently I had the oppurtunity to get a Black 2019 TRD Sport 4x4 with 44K with some damage to the front at a good price and the oppurtunity to have it professionally repaired.

As part of that repair, I can't make up my mind which grill I want to go with. That's the advice/opinions I'm looking from you folks who I'm sure have considered or done similarly.


I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but I'll ask this almost like a poll question, (A B or C or D) and if my wife doesn't overule you all, I'll pick whichever you choose.


Which would look best?

A TRD Pro Style

Specifically this one

B Honeycomb ( I think it's called Raptor style?) with the TACOMA lettering.

C - Other

Leave me your opinion


D - Go Back Stock (Definitely not happening.)

 

I had the pro grille, switched to the lighted V2 grille. I like it the best of all I've seen.

I remember Johnny Carson asking Gaga Gabor about a divorce hearing in which there was a hung-jury.
When asked about it she said : "They're all nice boys" LOL

These are all nice grills - I like TRD Pro Style myself.

 

I vote for the pro style grill. (or stock)

 

4th grill option:



Welcome to TW - Happy Friday

 

A! Or the pro grille v2 that h2beezy has.

 

It was one of the first results on google and had a great price lol, but I did wonder about the name myself.

 

Pee pee auto...lol.

 

Does your truck have the PCB/ACC? That will affect your grille options.

 

I know I'm showing my ignorance here, but what does PCB and ACC stand for?

I bought the truck on auction and it's being delivered tonight so I haven't been able to check for specifics, but once I get it I can look for those two things if I know what to look for.

 

Pre collision braking. There are sensors in the grill. If you install one without the sensors, you will get a perpetual error message, grills with the sensors are more expensive.

 

I put a Sport grill on my SR. It’s a great looking grill.

The basic Pro grill looks great too. Kind of a wash to me.

I know a lot of people like Raptor lights and stuff, but I work at a rural high school.

I see too many highly bedazzled trucks in the parking lot to want to replicate the look on my own vehicle.

 

I see nothing wrong here:

 

You know…

When it’s tasteful like that, I really don’t mind the look.

 

TW is all about Modding your truck the way you like it. The grille that came on my Sport was chrome and I wanted a black grille to go with my Barcelona Red, so I am happy with my OEM Pro grille. Since you have a Black Tacoma check out this thread. There are over 7000 posts, but you might get some ideas on what looks good on a Black Tacoma. Welcome to TW.

Xtrek is an option

it can be quite a rabbit hole though.
