    Hello everyone. For a few weeks i have heavily been looking for a grill. I just need help with this bad.
    So i want a 2011 honeycomb grill that’s color matched .
    I have done lots of research and here’s what i have found. I will be buying one of these 2 i am almost certain anyways. But which one ....
    I will attach a picture of my tacoma and then the links to both of my options.

    A problem i’m having is i can’t find my trucks paint code. every single white tacoma part i find is called “Super White #040” or so but paint codes are very specific so i don’t know if mine is any different and i don’t know how to find my exact code.

    #1 - https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/302703048037

    This one has some damage which is why it’s a little cheaper. See for yourself what you think.

    I just wish the second link had a picture . But i have seen many of you on here suggesting them. But it only says white and not a specific name. Maybe i’m over thinking it all we shall see lol. Thanks for any future input guys.

    The link doesn't work, anyways what is the price for the second. you can get ABS cement to fix the plastic tab or even JB plastic weld.

    So the camelback grill is fully white ? Like even the honey comb part ? I really want the first one but i’m just worried about the tabs. How hard do you think it would be to color match the chrome toyota logo in the middle of the first one ? Sorry for all the questions man. Just don’t wanna mess up ya know

    my mistake I thought the first was chrome surround with the honeycomb '11 insert. I see that it is white. I would definitely go with the first. Very easy to fix, just take your time with it. Not difficult you would have to sand the chrome down maybe start with a 600 or 800 then work your way up to a 1000 grit sandpaper and maybe finish with 1500/2000 then you wipe down with rubbing alcohol and use a base/primer first even strokes 3- coats probably, you can get color match rattle can dupli-color from autozone or pepboys. then use it for 3-4 coats even light passes. let dry see if you like it before deciding about clear coat. You can wet sand or dry sand the 1000 and 1500/2000 others I would dry sand. as far as tabs it fairly easy just take your time for quality work.

    The ebay one has $15 shipping, so now you're down to $35 difference since Camelback is free shipping. Gunny can most likely get you a better price than the $200 listed, so now it's even less than $35 savings for the broken one. Personally, I wouldn't screw around with the broken one. They are all going to come with a black center section and a chrome emblem.

    Hey thanks for the info. I did end up going with the ebay one because i messaged the seller about the broken tab and he said it wasn’t really an issue so i took it on the auction. got it for $170 ish after everything and the install went smooth as could be and i haven’t had a single complaint! It really makes my truck look much cleaner and nicer.
