Looking for Black OEM Grille

Looking to trade my Chrome 2011 OEM Grille for a Black OEM Grille. Bought the truck brand new in April, Grille is in great condition. PM if interested.

 

I just blacked mine out and it's pretty easy! Krylon fusion bonds to plastic pretty good! I love the grill inserts on the 2011!

 

I know I thought about doing it myself but I don't wanna mess it up then be stuck with it

 

And I eventually wanna get a grillecraft so I know the older style grilles are easier to cut than the honeycomb.

Might be a better option...

 

What? There's no way their that cheap?

 

From the right place they are. I got one about a week ago. Its not "OEM" but its exactly the same. Even the injection spots... I bought it to cut it up for a satoshi. Spent more on paint then anything else.

 

Would that fit a 2012? anyone? cause thats amazing and i want it now if it does lol.

 

Double D you got a lift?

 

Not sure how the 2012s attach. These have two clips on the bottom and two screws on top. And two push rivets I think. But 2012s have a completely different grille. I'm guessing no. But you might be able to find a 2012 grille on that website.

 

Call these guys...I got mine from them and couldn't be happier. Their guy people to deal with and 180 shipped is cheap as hell for a painted OEM Grille. Just sell your Chrome one for 50 bucks afterwards and call it a day

"Just give them a call and ask for parts then for David at 704-552-7600 and mention this forum and my name "Linwood" and he will give you that deal!"

 

They only have the yaris as a 2012 option. Oh well.

 

Or pay 40 shipped and 70 ish to have a body shop do it...

 

Yeah i was thinking about having a body shop paint that and my chrome bumper. That would be a good idea DOUBLE D. Then you keep it with what it came with u know.

 

right now i just have a 2" body lift

ya ill probably just buy one from that website then sell my chrome one if anyone wants it. i personally like the older grilles rather than the honeycombs.

 

Dude, ill take that honey comb insert. Is it easy to get out?

 

i haven't tried to take it out yet..but i don't see it being much different from the older styles.

 

If you are talking about the entire grille being easy to get out then yes, it is very simple to remove. The inner grille however, the honeycomb part, is what makes up most of the grille and is held to the outer surround, the part that is either painted or Chrome, by about twenty ish melt tabs. So separating the two while not difficult, takes a bit more time. you would then have to do the same to your existing grille in order to use your current surround on the inner grille. Which you would have to re melt together.

 

Plastidip it. If you dont like it peel it off. Did mine about 2 weeks ago and it looks bad ass.

 

Makes sense, its attached to the center support......PITA! Just paint it DoubleD!
