    So, last weekend I entered the world of trucks for the very first time in my 56 yrs. I traded in the ole car and bought a '19 TRD Sport, and love the thing. I think I got a reasonably good price and I am totally diggin' the truck as a whole.
    Today, for the first time (because of weather in these parts), I was able to do a walk-around in depth to see if there were any body issues. I have one that even though its hard to see, I see it and bugs me a bit. I am not sure of the technical name of it, but its the piece that surrounds the grill. The plastic piece, that is painted, and butts up next to the hood. Mine has a couple of dents in the plastic and though not totally visible at a first glance, I see them.
    So my question is, what is that piece officially called? Is it just part of the grille? I am wanting to replace that part. Well, actually, I would love to replace the grill as well as mine is stock and I like the look of some of the aftermarket ones. Bare minimum though, I would like to replace that part.
    Can anyone give me any info as to what the piece is actually called or know of a place (be it on this site or elsewhere), where I can get one?
    Love this truck!!! I am excited to be a part of this passionate community

    Ahhhh.....that name I never saw. Even if the part number is not correct, I have a name now. 150ish bucks is more than I was hoping, but it is what it is.
    Much thanx. Now I need to find one in my color

    Your best bet is stop at a auto body shop and get a couple quotes (repair/repaint). If you buy one, it's gonna have to be painted.

    I bought a OEM black grill surround for my 19 TRD OR to replace the stock chrome one and it was very easy to install. No paint needed.

    I’m talking about part 52711 and he talking about part 53101? Is that right?

    Looks like you can get part 53101 already painted.

    Looking up the parts online, part 53101 seems right, but the pictures are sort of deceiving. The pic tends to highlight the whole grille instead of focusing on that piece. I think I just need to give the parts website a call.

    That's your best bet. Only thing about, if it's pre-painted us color match. Most paints have multi variances. My paint (cement) has 6.

    Funny..I am hyper focusing on something that at a quick glance, you dont really notice. It bugs me enough though when I pass by the hood, so I shall get it replaced at some point.

    I do appreciate the offer, but I am going to pass. Chrome is not the look I am wanting but again, I really appreciate that

    My question is, I would hate to buy another one and have the issue happen again.....so is there an alternative solution to this problem?

    if yours is not that bad you could hold out for a used one, I would guess the resale is not that great.

    It's rare, only heard of a few warping. Most far south, high heat states.

    So based on the pic above, I guess I am looking for the radiator grille. I have pulled up a number of parts pages, and have never seen that clear of a picture (as in a good breakdown to all the parts)
