    First, I want to give a shoutout to “Pikestacosister” who made the vinyl stickers that blacked out my rims perfectly! The custom cut stickers were cut absolutely perfectly and were very easy to put on! Reach out to her if you need some. You will not be disappointed. She is very cool too.

    I also added a Tacoma Pro grill. Picked up the $100 no name brand. Looks perfect and installed easy. I had to get the garnish cover for the sensor. It kept turning off the sensor without it. Finally, I just got my new black license plates. I’m pretty stoked with how it all turned out.

    Does your truck have the TSS sensor and if so is the trd pro grill OEM or aftermarket?

    Thanks guys.

    Cameron, I picked up the after market for less than $100. At first I tried going without the TSS sensor garnish cover, but the dashboard light kept going off and turning it off. So, then I ordered the genuine Toyota garnish and it instantly fixed the problem.

    I have the same vinyl from @PikestacoSister for my offroad wheels. I am very happy too. Mine are temporary as I have a set of fn fx pros in my basement waiting for me to wear my tires down a little more so I can put the wheels on with new tires..

    But the vinyl was a great way for me me to black out the wheels for cheap money.

    Does The sensor have any issues with only the garnish and does it fit well with the aftermarket grill?

    The garnish worked perfect. It stopped the errors and it stopped auto disable of the sensor.
