    Of course you can purchase an oem (toyota factory) grill, some have paid $300-$400 from what I've read. They are also advertised on ebay as OEM.

    I Also Have Magnetic Gray I found having some Chrome accents works best for me I Used Chrome insert letters in the tailgate and they look pretty well just my taste Since having This Grey backing it would make it too dark not sure haven't seen many trucks with this color modified.
    On the Note, I Installed 2 Bike mounts using one of the rails Because I would not pay 50$ for the front rail using Fork Mounts this works on any Mountain Bike size

    I think Toyota did away with the front bed rail track for 2019! I was pretty disappointed about that and the large bed side storage bin on the drivers side, both of which were not installed on 2019 models. I frequently used them both on my 2013 Tacoma.

    I like the Pro wheels on the magnetic grey, the Pro grill looks good, but seems to be on every other Taco out there...

    I just plasti dipped my bezel. I rather spend the 400 bucks on other things rather than a grille . Different strokes for different folks.

    No 3rd Gen Taco came with the front rail, order one from a 2nd Gen and it bolts right up.

    You should buy everything that a PRO has and upgrade. Get all of that OR stuff off of there and you will feel like a PRO

    Here is a link to my truck with the blackout mesh grille, blackout headlights and blackout mirror turn signals.

    Please ignore the white tag showing thorough from the wire harness, I have attached another link to where I had the truck cleaned. It is before the black headlight mod.

    I Also removed all badging as soon as possible. The only exterior non black is from the TRD bead locks.

    I recommend you color the chrome ring around the grill or replace that trim with an SR bezel which is black. The black bezel on an 18-19 grille adds a nice touch IMO.

    TRD Pro Grille will fit. I opted for the Empyre Off-Road Grill because its die-cut steel instead of plastic, and I was able to get one that said "Tacoma" instead of "Toyota" which I quite like.

    Additionally, I opted for the 4Runner Pro wheels because they're slightly bigger and Matte Black rather than shiny black.
