    Search here for the numerous satoshi threads and you should find detailed instructions. I think you will find that all you need is a soldering iron to bed the melted ABS "pins" holding the two sections together.

    Shhhhhhhhhhh!!

    We don't want to upset our best source of chrome replacement parts or stock TRD wheels, i.e. the swap and sell users.

    Is your truck black?

    You could do what i did... Bought a used grill on ebay that was the color i wanted (white). theyre all over.

    Then sell yours on ebay, using the box your new one came in to ship it. I actually made money doing this

    Did the same exact thing with my headlights.

    Better than Plastidip IMO cuz im always wondering when the derp is gonna chip and ill have to fix it. Nice to not have to worry about that....
