2020 Sequoia TRD Pro Grill conversion

Curious how you color matched your bumpers @TunaDr - i'm assuming you painted over the chrome?

 

beau found it on alibaba and shared it with me, I got it off of there as well. there was only black available, ships from stateside(east coast)

 

I think darker cars are more difficult to notice

 

proper way is to sand blast it first, prime then paint to match your body color. body shop handled it all for me

 

good info- thank you!

 

That truck looks great!
Anytime we used to paint chrome bumpers, we would have them blasted first. That was many moons ago, and they make primer a lot better now.

 

Looks very cool.

 

Looks fantastic!

 

Damn! I have the sequoia led lights now I guess I need the grill!

Now I have the part numbers I need for my MGM truck

 

Got it put together tonight. Not a great pic because of the lighting. i'll take another in the morning.

 

That's badass

 

Thanks man!

 

Sorry, might have missed it. What year and trim is your vehicle? My son has my old 2013 Tundra Platinum, looking to do this. He had a tire hit the truck on the highway coming back from visiting a friend at VA Tech and the grill took a hit.

Thanks!

 

2008 Crewmax Limited.

 

what kind of lower grill light fit in there so well?

 

How do y'all think MGM would look with Aquatic Blue? I like the contrast with the blue and black, but maybe it would look weird. If its all black then you lose the contrast with the center bar...decisions.

 

I'm in a similar boat as you. I've got Radiant Red, and currently have a factory color matched rock warrior grill that looks great. But I'm looking at getting the Sequoia lights and the Sequoia grill looks awesome with them. And like you, Radiant Red isn't a Sequoia color. So:

A) keep current color matched grill and be happy
B) get black surround Sequoia grill with black bar and hope that black looks alright with the rest of the truck
C) get a perfectly new Sequoia grill and refinish it color matched

 

I know, I know. But it would hurt my soul sanding down the perfect OEM finish of a brand new grill in order to do a rattle can job (albeit with as much DIY prep and 2k clear to make it decent as possible).

 

Do it right and spend the money on a real paint job . You'll be spending a lot of money on quality lights and quality grill. Do it right the first time.
DO IT RIGHT!!!

 

It's not perfect. I had a big chip in mine

 

I can justify headlights since, I mean, you NEED sweet headlights. Right? Safety and all that. But a grill that was already replaced a few years ago on a 10 year old Midwest (rust belt) truck. Then paying to refinish. Oof.

Haha I'd gladly pay a retailer a discounted price for a chipped surround and destroy the factory finish with no qualms. If only that was available.

 

Just got new wheels and tires so I'm honestly not sure I'm in the market right now but... Still available and how much you looking to get for it?

 

I'd be good with half what I have in it. $160.00. Would have to ship though so not sure how much that would be. Ever make it to the Phoenix area?

 

I don't get to AZ much but I will try to work on the wife and see what I can do. Just dropped about 3k on wheels and tires so we will see haha.

 

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the 2nd gen sequoia grille to the 2020 TRD Pro grille while keeping oem headlights?

 

Yes, added it to my 2015 Seq. Kept the OEM headlights.

 

Idk the size of oem sequoia headlights but on my tundra I used a sequoia replica grill with alpharex headlights that are oem size and everything fit as expected. good luck!

Yes you can

 

My gap is pretty good. Still trying to decide what I want to do to it. Considering a large gasket but thinking of adding a contoured aluminum piece painted to match maybe. Still trying to finish the paint job before hell arrives in Phoenix.
