    Looks super clean man! Good work. Reminds me of my truck haha. I definitely prefer the 12-15 updated look over the 05-11 design.

    Alright, i have all the brackets/parts in my shopping cart through Camelback Toyota and it stands at $262+ free shipping. Won't be needing the crash bar or bumper cover. Already acquired a grille. Still need headlights and hood.

    Is that the headlight fillers, and miscellaneous stuff as well? Seems kinda low on the price.

    Yes, headlight fillers, underneath brackets, middle support brace, retainer clips, and headlight brackets. I double and triple checked the posts. Won’t be needing the crash bar, bumper cover, or bumper support brackets. Now to find an oem hood.

    Picked up an oem sport hood at the salvage yard for $300. Just waiting for the headlights to arrive so i can retrofit them before full assembly. Very excited to pull this conversion off.

    Unfortunately, no. Its silver sky metallic color. My brother's friend is in the body shop business so i'm covered on the paint. This one popped up and was about an hour away so i had to act quick.

    There is a ton of hoods in SOCAL. It’s a lot easier to find silver sky parts. than silver streak. I’m just going to go with an aftermarket hood for $150. Couple junk yards have oem hoods for 2-300 but they are all the wrong color.

    There are several oem hoods in NORCAL, but all non sport and in the 2-300 range. The Sport hoods are a bit rare up here and I'll take what i can. I was pretty close to getting an aftermarket hood as they're readily available, but didn't want to deal with fitment issues had there been any.

    I’m just going with the non scoop hood. The scooped ones are crazy expensive

    What does the white piece actually do? I have the black piece that clips to the fender, and the black piece that connects to the green clip
    Here is the green clip I am missing

    If anyone is wondering, the 2012 hood fits with the 05-11 headlights. I had no way else to transport the hood lol

    Thanks. They seem like they are necessary to hold the fillers in
