    ...That is the question.

    I'm sick of the chrome grill surround. Derp it along with the emblems, or suck it up and save up for Satoshi or Grillcraft.

    I bought a new matching color grill from a dealer online (here) and then Derped the Toyota logo.

    Just ran the truck through the car wash today and it still looks as good as new.

    Can I ask how much that Color Match Grill cost you? I have a 2012 Off Road and I can't stand the chrome.

    did the same for my '12, bought a color matched and derped the emblem. It should hold me over til Homer gets everything going. SSM as well.

    Camelback yota is the cheapest place for colormatched online.

    What is with you derp haters?

    The stuff is temporary, comes right off, and allows you to see if you like blacked out features.

    A lot of chrome looks over the top, but in your case the chrome grill looks good with against the silver.
