    I just changed the base bumper cover for a white one but kept the base fender flares. I like how it turned out. I was thinking of adding a white grill but my dad said it looks good as is. What do y'all think?

    I think either way would look good. I like the black grille with the black fender flares but then again, the color matched look always looks sharp. I'm 50/50.

    I'd go white surround and black out the toyota symbol, then match the gray lower valence to the rest of the black.

    The black grill looks good with the flares.

    Either way! it looks good black with the flares. if you did the black head light mod then white might look better. My build thread has some pictures of the white grill but i have white flares.

    Looks good, but white will look better I think.

    It's not new, it's not Mexico
    Painting the grill white will go great with the color matched front bumper & the black fender flares will go with the black wheels you're gonna' get. ;)
