    i have pro headlights going on in the spring, and want to get oem color matched grill surround for my trd OR

    seems impossible, ebay, used, toyota parts stores, all discontinued

    i think the sports had it...ill keep checking ebay and worst case ill try to paint mine (even the duplicolor i got aerosol i heard is off color, too dark, oh well)

    i wonder how the pro headlights with chrome surround would look...

    any help or leads id appreciate it


    thanks

    I bought my BRM grille from Toyota online, but it looks like it's no longer available. Best bet is to color match paint it.
    The part number would be 53100-04481-J1
    Try ordering from https://touchupdirect.com/ for color matched spray paint. Follow with a 2K clear coat.

    IMO. I’d just pop off your surround and have paint shop prep and paint. Or you could have an automotive paint supplier put some in a spray can for you and a can of clear and do it yourself.

    I might do this. Have an aerosol but heard it's too dark even tho same code, duplicolor. Needs big prep work on the chrome to remotely stick

    update, i removed the grill, broke a ton of clips, remove the surround, and tried wrapping it with some really nice vivvid wrap in a close blue flake, totally messed it up and gave up. i have big bag of auto clips and double edge tape that got the whole assembly back on pretty well considering. 1 zip tie as well. unless i find a blue ribbon grill in the future i might be rocking pro headlights with a chrome grill surround

    I have the surround from my truck that's just sitting in the basement. It was on the truck for maybe a year and it's in excellent shape.
    I could let it go for 75 plus you pay for shipping.
