2018 OR Grill No More Chrome

Looks great! Do you have a picture of the TSS unplugged I have tried to unplug mine to do this but it does not want unplug.

 

Looks great black. I did the same on my sport grill, but eventually switched to the Pro grill.

 

I bought the SR bezel as well. I am one of the few that doesn’t like the pro grille. The 2018 grille looks clean to me already I just hated the chrome.

 

There are two tabs that hold the wiring onto the grille up high, not by the emblem. Squeeze so they push through. They you can hold the connector upside down, there is a little tab that holds the connector together, it makes sense once you see it upside down. Use your thumb to depress, then pull, it comes out really easy once you hold it right. Goes back in with an audible click so you know it's in. Good luck. Go slow. It's really easy.

 

That looks really good on white!

 

Thanks for the explanation. I knew something had to be holding the two plugs together. I got the tabs but didn’t see the bottom of the plug. I will try it out sometime this week.

 

Finally got around to blacking out my grill bezel and chrome bumpers

 

OR chrome bezel replacement with black SR was a great idea. Thanks guys!

 

This Black SR Bezel is good stuff for the 18' black grills... Going this route instead of Pro Grill for the time being. I like the idea of my dealership not having any reason to void my warranty if there was a result of my TSS failing too ToyotaTacomaTRD... My truck is going to look very similar to yours except Cement Gray before all is said and done!

 

Oh Schmitt where did you get those black Bumper inserts and is there a product number if its OEM? I know I have came across a PN for that in another thread, but thought id ask real quick.

 

Wow these black SR Bezel looks amazing!! I think the chrome Toyota emblem looks perfect, really makes it pop. This is going to be one of the next things I do to my truck.

 

Thanks. I'm happy with how it's turning out. Tires are probably next but I won't be doing too much more. Glad all the chrome is gone.

 

I did not buy the SR parts but instead used plasti dip until I want to spend the money on replacing the bumper caps and bezel. I believe the below links will point you in the right direction.

These are for the 2016 SR models but I am pretty positive this is what some people have been buying to replace the OR TRD Chrome Bezel and Bumper Caps.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

I followed the link and put the info for my 2018 sport, it came back saying it would not fit my truck. It looks like they don’t know what they’re talking about? Or am I missing something?

 

Yea I am honestly not sure since I didn’t go tha route. I have seen post where people have bought the SR black bumper and it fits, not sure where they got the part since it say it doesn’t fit.

 

Here is the label on the black SR moulding I bought and it fits on my 2018 OR perfectly. Hope that helps.

 

I remember when everyone hated the 2018 grille leaks.

 

There are a couple of people, (me and maybe one other person), that like the OR grilles better than the pros. Hey, Im a unicorn.

 

Yeah I agree. The new grille looks cleaner and more elegant. The Pro looks too busy for my taste.

 

I also agree. A little too much dull plastic.
