Is it just me, or does the stock grill "work" with Silver Sky Metallic?

    It seems a lot of guys here have a deep dislike for the stock TRD chrome grill. I most cases, I sort of understand, as the chrome grill is really "blingy" on the 3rd gen TRDs. However, I can't quite convince myself I hate it on my new Silver Sky. In some ways I think it looks really good, and fits the colour of the bodywork, maybe even better that the TRD Pro black lettered grill.

    Whatdya all think? Am I nuts? Maybe.........

    ^^^agreed. It's not cool with quicksand, that color was made to pair up with black. But silver looks great with the stock grill, they blend well together.

    I think it looks fine. The smoke color could be a little bit darker though for better contrast.

    I don't care for the Stock Grille, but whatever works for you is all that matters as its your truck.

    The stock grille looks best on Silver Sky Metallic, but it's still not my cup of tea.

    Agreed! Especially in flat-light, the smoked-gray pops.

    My Feeling is only chrome fit silver. Those colors are perfect match.

    Just don't understand why the stock grille can not be made to match the body color.

    I don't mind it. I haven't seen anything that I would spend money on to replace it.

    It doesn't look as bad as it does on other colors, but I like mine much better now that it is blacked out . I used a bed liner and it turned out great
