    I'm 50/50 on the grille. I need to see it on a black/darker exterior color and in person to make a final judgment.

    However I was never fan of the chrome grille on the TRD. So I'm glad they at least made that change.

    Our 2016/2017 grilles look better than that. This has to be the worst I've seen. That radiator will take a beating going down highways during winters here.

    I agree, but they all suck as far as protection. It is usually your condensor that gets impacted. What I do is i attach fine wire mesh to the inside of the grill. Catches all the bugs and gravel. I have done it on Tundras, 4runners, Fjs and Tacos and they all look damage free after years on the road.

    The good news about Cement being a common pool color is that I no longer have to worry about not scuffing up my fenders, I can just get a new one.

    Already have some scratches out of nowhere.

    Yeah I think it hides it well enough. I came from a silver 2nd gen to this Cement 3rd gen and I'd say they're about the same.

    Come to Butt-Head.. Crappy grill or not, if I start losing sleep over it - I'll just get a Pro grill. Problem solved.

    Wait, are these tail lights in fact new or just a carry over? They look the same to me!

    It doesn't seem like this grill will protect much. Unless you're a bug bigger than a humming bird, it's radiator city for you.

    I saw the TRD Pro 4runner in person in that color and I personally liked it.
