Thank you kind sir, and all I have to say is daaaaaaamn thats expensive, almost 4 bills

 

What is the piece that surrounds the grill called? Mine is chrome, and if I do the grill would like to go to magnetic grey on that, but not sure what to even search for. help

 

It's called the grill surround. Lol

The upper grill portion is only $200. $120 from Homer. Pick your posion.

 

thats a good name for it haha

 

tough to find one of those to buy. mostly would have to trade or find at a junk yard huh?

 

Get some color matched paint and clear coat and do it yourself. Save the dough! I'll probably be doing it myself pretty soon.

 

yeah thats what im leaning towards, just finding a color match to that toyota mag grey could prove difficult.

 

They sell it at auto parts stores or Toyota dealers I believe.

 

Take your paint code to a paint shop. They can mix it for you and put it in a rattle can. You pay a little extra for it, but if you don't have a compressor and a gun it works out great!

 

May need to do this myself. The chrome is killing me. Probably the only aesthetic mod I feel like I need to do

 

Does this seem right?

 

Considering I got called out for the chrome showing through my plastidip at the last meet, I think it's time to do it for good. Cough cough @TheosTaco cough

 

yeah the code is listed inside the driver side door. 1G3 is for the mag grey if anyone else has that. We should gather for a little mod fiesta! I know I got a lot of stuff I want to get done, the grill, the surrounding, suspension, and lighting.

 

still have them??

 

You're going to have a hard time getting regular paint to adhere properly to chrome.





On a separate note: before I go ahead and buy them; anyone here do alignments at home, and have turntables or toe plates / etc, that they'd be willing to let me borrow for a couple hours? Obviously I'll provide liquid reimbursement. Life's too short to spend 2.5hrs watching "professionals" fumble over themselves, and pull this shit:

 

Also, does anyone in the 805 have first gen parts?? wanting my first truck to look bad ass lol

 

don't want to know who did that!!

There won't be a problem with adhesion. If it was real chrome like they made 20+ years ago, I'd agree. But it's just plastic bullshit these days. Nothing a quick sand can't solve!

 

true that, just gotta rough it up a bit first. going to go to the autozone tomorrow to see if they have that paint to match, if not will try the depot or diy center. any other suggestions?

 

Yep!

 

what city?
