    Stock AF. My 68 Bronco and 2000 2.5RS get the mods.
    I like it, it fits well with the flare color. I was dead-set on Cavalry Blue but more dead-set on two new features for 2020. The features won but I still freakin love that blue. :thumbsup:

    Pretty straight forward. Removed 2 10mm bolts, 2 clips, undid the tss cable and the grill pulled off. 8 phillips screws to take out around the back of the bezel, and then carefully press the chrome tabs and push thru to release the bezel.

    Look to swap the headlights for the TRD Pros to really make it pop.

    Be careful - wiring is different and the TRD Pro headlights are not plug and play into an SR

    Man you’re right, my mistake on not looking at the trim level. The Sport and up are plug and play though.

    I used the black emblem covers from Toyota. Your plastidip came out nicely.

    Looks so much better man! Not sure whos idea was it to have a chrome bezel on an already huge front end.

    I painted mine though. SR bezel is $180 plus tax over here...

    I bought mine i paid about $120 plus tax. Didn't want to have to remove and repaint over time if paint began to chip. I have my chrome bezel ill give it away for free of anybody wants it. Central Cal area.

    I went the Plastidip route. I am very happy with the results. Wheels are next.

    Makes sense. I don't know what the longevity is on the front grill, but so far so good. Easy enough to re-do if necessary.

    Enjoy your ride! Safe travels!!
