    The SR5 grille just looked so unfinished and out of place with the truck, I swapped over to the pro for $70 and I think my truck looks 10 times better.

    Same here - I am definitely in the minority but I actually like chrome and don't like the black look so many seem to prefer. The only complaint I actually have about my truck is I wish I could have got lighter color seats and dash. However it is great that everyone has a choice!

    Just got home (WA) from a week vacation in San Diego and I did notice a lot of “pro” grills on Sports and ORs. It seemed like there were more Sports than any other trim level. Only saw 1 Pro in the week I was there.

    Too much.
    I see the "Pro" grille more often than not in NH/MA. I like my OEM Sport Grille, I just added the SR ring to get rid of the chrome.

    That's awesome those are available now! They were in 2017, or at least I couldn't find one. I know the first thing I'm buying once I get my refund.

    Also not a fan of the pro grille.

    Yep. About the cheapest (flimsiest) piece of plastic there is. Embarrassing really. When I took the whole grille assembly off to install my OEM Pro grille I was blown away by the fact that the whole thing weighed about two pounds. My kid's 2000 PreRunner is like a Sherman tank compared to this new rig. lol Oh well, they look good and perform decently so it's all good.

    Disc brakes in the rear, springs instead of leaves and another 50hp would be a step in the right direction.

    Very clean rig. I like it. That black surround does make a big difference, especially on a white truck.

    Now get rid of the door vinyl between side glass and you're all set. lol

    I want your headlights. That's really the last thing aesthetic I'd like to do.

    It's my second favorite upgrade to my truck. First is the interior.

    What about your headlights is different from OEM? They do look good but I haven't been in the fold long enough to know what I'm looking at.

    What had to be done to get them to fit? Any modifications?

    I had them professionally done but the rx350's are a direct bolt in.
