    I'm looking for the upper sight shield that goes between the grille assy and the radiator panel. Is there such a part for our 3rd-Gen Tacos? I've seen some on the internet but no clear statement that they fit my 2022 Tacoma.

    (not the part, but similar):

    OK. Maybe its not meant to be. Maybe it would have a negative effect on air flow and cooling.

    Toyota uses the hood prevent that air from bypassing over the top. There's a rubber gasket that seals down against the radiator panel to accomplish that. There are still many places to seal up that will likely have gains to force and direct air where we want it.
