    I'm on the fence with this grill. I think it will look great with certain colors, but perhaps a bit uninspiring in others. I guess we'll have to wait and see it in person!

    Well I certainly wouldn't want it to say "Toyota" on it the way these diff/cps recalls and roof leaks have been going. :bananadead:

    Seriously though, it doesn't say "Toyota" or have the symbol anywhere on my truck now and I'm super ok with that.

    I don't like this grill, to me it resembles the plastic rack on a polaris atv.

    Looks like Toyota made it the "gofuckyourself" grill.

    I'll be keeping my "heritage" grill.

    That chrome bezel on the SR5 grille makes it look small and weird. I like the SR grille just fine with the black bezel.

    Everyone has their own opinion.I respectfully disagree, The chrome ring on the SR5 Helps to break up the black and adds a nice contrast. Another reason is compared to the SR grill, the plain black seems very base modelish to me.

    I'm all for accents colors but for the grill I like it all one color for some reason. I do like my chrome door handles and side view mirrors. But to the new grill, it's a no for me.

    I kinda wonder if that's the manipulative reasoning behind this hideousness. Continue to collect $400 extra from everyone that has any sense of style.

    I heard they’ll be adding a shift at the Plastidip factory when the 2018s come out.

    Tell you what, I derped my Norelco with the Rust-Oleum derp that looks like bedliner. Those guys will definitely work 2 shifts because that stuff doesn't lay down too easy. Had to peel the first coat because of all the runs.
