    Just noticed today when washing that there's an annoying gap in some spots between the bezel and grille insert. This could be reason enough to switch out to a TRD Pro style grille. But has anyone else had any luck adjusting these things?

    I did notice at certain angles my chrome grill seemed to be recessed at certain spots. The bezel and grill have screws holding them in place, you can remove and see if you can tighten.


    Didn't bother me at all but certainly seems to be a good enough reason to put the correct grill on your truck like I did.

    I totally agree.... your grill looks like real shit like it is now....!! I could not drive it like that..!
    If you don't want to be teased by the guys at the mall.... you better change that grill for the correct one...!! :thumbsup: LOL:cheers:

    looks like it's not lined up properly? check it out when you take it off to DERP it.

    DERP is messy and just a band-aid. Fix your problem before your head explodes.

    Remove the screws and gaps altogether and clip the PRO grill in.
