    Got a black trd offroad with pro grille.

    I’m considering painting the whole grill in gloss black except for the “TOYOTA” logo. Has anyone done anything similar?

    also thinking to paint the fender flares and front plastic bits in black for a whole blacked out look.

    Just be careful to not paint the TSS garnish. From experience, the sensor hates a painted garnish.

    that makes two of us then

    gloss black/body color. That’s 3 votes in.

    i have a third-party grill with a third party garnish which is giving the sensor issues already, but yep will definitely keep that clear for sure.

    Depends on the look you want. To me gloss black trim with gloss paint is more of a blingout. I don’t think Batman would approve but maybe the Keaton Batman. :notsure:
