    I didnt get one, i did the satoshi mod, scuffed up the chrome real good and used duplicolor color match spray paint. The color came out real good but the clear coat didnt really. I plan on redoing it soon my buddy just bought a spray gun. Ive seen some guys on here that went with the black plastic oem replacement and either brought them to a body shop or sprayed them with color match spraypaint. I think they are only like 60 bucks on partsgeek.com and some people will tell you not to paibt over chrome because it wont adhere as well. I have had no problems with mine tho, just scuff the chrome really well, clean it really well and use a adhesion promoter before you prime. Ive also ear some body shops will not paint over chrome because they cant garuntee their work. You can buy a new oem colormatched grill, probably from camelback toyota (a vendor on this site) or maybe your dealership can order one but it will probably be close to $200
