    Anyone have experience swapping out stock grilles for a TRD Pro? I picked up one today on Amazon that had some good reviews and a reasonable price. It also includes a mount location for the TSS sensor.

    Watched a few videos and it seems pretty straight forward. Any tips or tricks you guys have?

    My 16 doesn't have TSS, but the grill swap takes about 20 minutes. I did mine with no broken clips.

    Just watch the vids and take your time.

    make sure you get the cover for the TSS sensor. There has been people who have had issues with the sensor readings.

    Just did mine a few days ago. Take your time, just because some people do it in 20mins doesn’t mean you have to. I did it in about 30, and still broke 1 clip because I’m a clutz. And yeah make sure to get the garnish, some say no errors without it but some say there is. I didn’t wanna risk it so I bought it
