    Finished the hardware swap and waiting for my paint shop appointment. There is a gap between the hood and the grill that looks wrong. I ordered an OEM grill and removed the center so I could put in an aftermarket TRD Pro style one. Everything is tightened in place… what am I missing here? The hood is factory as well.

    Yep, @snpower there's always some type of gap; yours looks good like Jason's above. The Tacoma is not a vehicle I pay much heed RE: panel gaps. Mine actually has the incorrect spacing:
