    Hello all! First time Tacoma owner here. Just got into a 2020 SX which we have named The Master (we have a blue Escape that has been named the TARDIS and sticking with the theme).

    I am not going to do a ton of things to this vehicle aside from some visual mods, mainly blacking out my grill emblem and getting some new head/tail lights.

    I dig that the SX is damn near all blacked out... Saves me a lot of time and plasti-dip!
    I am debating on replacing the grill emblem with a blacked out one, or replacing the entire grill. Pretty much comes down to whether I really care about the radar or not :D

    Oh... And I have to remove the ugly pin stripes that the dealership puts on all their vehicles... I guess pin stripes are a big thing here in TX

    isn't the radar in the windshield camera in front of the rear view mirror? Didn't think that the grill had any effect.

    Quick search on my part shows I am incorrect. There is a sensor in the grill for TSS.

    Yeah... I like the cruise control feature, but not sure if that outweighs a nice grill, and honestly... There has to be a way around it lol

    Welcome

    The SX trim is the best looking Tacoma, my opinion. The TRD Pro grill would look good on there. I do like the SR grill, and think the SR grill would look good on a de-baged Pro. I'd prefer if Toyota would have skiped the SX decal, I don't think the first year SX had that decal.

    Did you get the 6cyl or the 4cyl?

    I am honestly not a fan of the TRD Pro grill... It looks basic to me. I like the SR grill on this but debating on going with a mesh grill instead. The SX decal was actually way easy to remove, no cleanup. I actually asked the dealership if they put it on there because it seemed cheap.
    I got the 4cyl. This is a daily driver that I will to keep with a little, don't need anything special.
