    Hi there! I recently bought a 2021 Tacoma SR in super white. I am looking to modify it as close to a TRD Sport as I can. Any suggestions are welcome!

    Congrats on your truck and welcome to TW!

    Hood scoop and maybe some "nicer" rims/tires is all you really need to turn it into a sport look. IMO the stock SR grille looks better than any 3rd gen tacoma grille, i would leave it.

    Good luck!

    Pretty much sums it up, except for a few cosmetic things, infotainment and sport suspension.

    Seems like he just wants the look tho. Anyone who isn't into tacomas isn't gonna be able to tell the difference between a real sport and a look alike

    If you want to go fully into detail, here is what you'll need:

    TRD Sport/Off-Road Grill
    Hood Scoop
    TRD Sport Bed Decal (if 4wd, go with the 4x4 version)
    OEM color-keyed fender flares (would have to modify your bumper for that)
    Color-keyed front facia
    Headlights with white DRL or OEM LED Headlights for 2020+ TRD+ models
    TRD Sport 17x7 inch wheels
    265/65/17 all-season tires
    TRD Sport tuned suspension
    OEM TRD taillights
    Skid plates (I think trd sport has more)

    Other things:

    Mirror turn signals
    Cruise control
    Intermitted windshield wipers
    Dark gray interior or leather
    OEM bed outlet
    OEM fog lights
