    Anyone want to swap grilles? I have the chrome TRD OR grille and prefer the black SR5 grille. Even trade? Thanks!

    I sprayed mine with like 4 cans of plasti-dip and it looks great. I like it better than the SR-5 grill. Mine looks cleaner, and meaner.

    I bought my SR grill from my dealer for 300$ when I bought mine in 2016, even comes with the surround painted. Maybe pop in and get a quote.

    The SR5 grill has chrome surrounding the black grill, the SR grill is black/black.

    I gave away my TRD grill with the trucks new owner, he didn't even want it back. They are just awful.

    Seems like most are pulling off the 18 grille for a Pro. I imagine they're easy to find. Put an SR Bezel on it and they look pretty dang good. Here's mine, pic is before and after I did the Bezel swap. You can probably get one fairly cheap since everyone is yanking them off.

    Not a fan of the chrome. I wish it wasn't on the interior trim, either. That ish blinds me!

    No thanks, I'm good. I appreciate the offer, though. I sprayed my OR grill with 4 cans of plasti-dip and am very happy with it. Has texture and looks aggressive.

    I think the 18 TRD grill looks nicer. SR5 looks really basic IMO.

    "basic"
    Except, don't look now but they (Toyota) uses the same design on the Limiteds - even on the 18's (except they are more chromed on the 18's

    The 2nd picture is how they all should come. Looks so much better. Pretty sure that's the exact picture that made me decide I didn't need a pro grille and just decided to swap out the Bezel. Don't have to worry about fiddling with the TSS either.

    Can you post a picture? Did you take the grill off or do it while it was on?

    I don't have a picture to post, but will try to get one. I took it off and disassembled in to 3 pieces so that I could spray each piece separately.
