    I've been eyeing this grille. I bought a cheaper one, and I hate it. It's way too shiny for me, and now i'm kicking myself in the ass for not getting this one. Looks great

    I'm curious to know what this grille will look like once someone decides to color match it.

    Oh wow, so when zooming in, it looks as though when color matching the person made their own separating line with the paint.

    The 3rd gen pro grilles have an actual indentation for separating the color from the black center.

    I'm not sure, it might look kinda cool...The X-runners in 2011 had the center bar painted!

    Was it just the Xrunners that had the center bar painted or all 2011?

    Yes sir it was only X-runners, TRD Sports had the painted surround but the middle bar was painted black.

    Looks good. How did you attach the rubber piece that comes with it? I’m scratching my head trying to figure how to attach it to the grille.

    Tried several different methods of adhearing the strip to grille and failed at all, I think it's best to leave it off and save money and aggravation lol
