    Looking to ditch my 2013 DCSB TRD O/R's chrome grille surround for the textured, unpainted plastic that comes on the base models. Where to buy and how much?

    Why not just paint it?



    Took mine off the next day after I bought the truck

    Taped it off but ended up painting the entire grill before it was all said and done

    Used self etching primer and sanded it down

    Me and you can switch!!! Ill take your chrome and you can take mine. It comes off my 2012 Tacoma Prerunner. Its close to the MGM color but slightly lighter. Paint would stick good to that!!
