    Stock....for now
    I have a 2018 TRD Sport with the adaptive cruise control and pre collision sensors. I would really like to put a trd pro grill on it but I’m not sure if that’s possible. Any one have one on there’s? If so where did you get it from?

    It is possible there is a ton of threads about doing that. You can either buy the pieces from the dealer or shop around online first.

    I ordered a China Pro Grill last week and expect it this upcoming week. I'll ty and do a mini pic demo on what I did. But basically following what I read aon the $140 Grill thread and using Kydex to fashion my own garnish for the radar.

    Or just go buy one. They're only around $50. Money well spent to protect a very expensive millimeter radar sensor.

    Perhaps TW could combine the thousands of Pro Grill threads into one?

    Sure the $50 give me convenience. But I plan to keep the Grill intact instead of removing the insert below the letters. I want to see if the radar will work with it on. Also I'll be using a Matt finish in it instead of the shinny piece of plastic. If it doesn't work than I'll opt for the $50 garnish.

    Oh man I thought this was going to be a play on the “this is getting out of hand” thread.

    To the OP, doable. I did it.

    the majority of people on here that thought they could keep the knockoff grille insert found that it causes errors.

    Yea I've seen the post. I wonder if they are not covering up the two openings. There are two members that have used just a plastic sheet to cover the two holes. for me it's the shinny plastic and the loss of exterior honey comb in that section that I don't like. I just got my Grill yesterday and will play around with it this weekend. I hope I don't break any tabs on my old Grill in case I want to go back.
    Link to what I'm trying to do:

    BTW, the color matched letters looks real nice!
