    Follow up to the first half of this project...

    So, with the problems folks have getting the OEM Pro grille and given they are apparently uber popular, I do want mine to be unique when I eventually get my Taco. That said, I thought that the SR grille is a good alternative since the TSS will be in virtually the same location and behind the exact same logo/garnish to protect the sensor.

    With the help of @schultzj01 to ID the correct grille, I was able to find photos on the web and tried to use the colors of the 2018's for some customization ideas. Of the 25+ color schemes I created, these are the ones that I am open to, including the default OEM option.

    What I'm asking for is votes and opinions on which color scheme you folks like to help lead me in the right direction. Personally, I'm leaning toward option 9 due to it's patriotic Red, White, and Blue scheme.

    If there's a scheme you don't see and would like to, even for your Taco, please let me know and I'll add them to this thread.

    Edit: Added Option 9 with a Barcelona Red horizontal bar.

    Odd, I'm seeing them, but I deleted and uploaded, showed full images again. Try now.

    Much more gooder!

    Personally, I like the first five. Just for the color coordination with the body color.

    HOWEVER...if you have other red accents on the truck the last five (four?) would work, too.

    Mandatory Disclaimer: I'm old and not as adventuresome in color choices as I once was. Go with what you like.

    I do plan on getting the faux pro emblems and will have "Sport" in Barcelona Red. Decisions, decisions...

    I like option 6 but with blue around the logo instead of red.

    I like option 1 the best, although I would leave the outer "trim piece" chrome as it came originally.
    I would do this to my truck if the original SR, SR5, and Limited grill piece did not have such "huge" openings to let bugs, birds, and stuff through to your cooling systems. I am going to modify my SR5 grill soon.

    I believe this is what you two are referring to?

    I've thought about the open gaps too and I will fashion some sort of mesh or wire screen to help reduce the debri getting through.
