    I see. So you want them to be black. Get some bumper coating and it should be as close to the black on the grill. Or PlastiDip like you stated.

    Use acetone, it should pull the paint off the letters

    Don't use acetone... It will damage the letters

    If anyone needs the front garnish for their Pro Grill I will have an extra one next week. I'll sell it for $50 and buyer pays for shipping.

    I'll buy it! Just picked up my 2018 Off Road a few days ago. Was about to order this part from Royal South Toyota and the shipping to Hawaii was more than the part...should fit fine in a small flat rate box

    Either I missed it or it hasn't been confirmed yet, but has anyone done this on one of the Chinese knock off Pro grills?

    My Chinese two piece grill I bought on eBay does not work. I can mod it to make it work but mine has 4 screws instead of looking like original with clips on the bottom and the washers on top.

    Sorry but I didn't take any pics from the back and I already installed it on the truck. Nothing special, it looks exactly like the OE grill from the back when using the Chinese grill with the separate letters.

    Does anyone have a lead on a Canadian dealer willing to sell the 2018 Pro grille & garnish? The dealer where I bought my truck from said the grille is "not for re-sale" and won't order one for me.

    Bought O.E.M. Pro Grill from a local dealership here in Puerto Rico plus the Garnish was on back order but came yesterday. Install was pretty straight forward. Use everything stock, even the clips. The sensor works great, drove 20 miles and everything was working perfect. So far this my truck, pretty happy with my 6 Speed Taco. :)

    Josh in parts at Cochrane Toyota can sell you the garnish but not sure if he can get a grill. Give him a call.

    Yeah, try PMing @Saeros. He PM'd me about my 2018 grille setup. Gave him all the details. He works in the parts dept at a dealership in Surrey, BC.
