2nd Gen TRD Pro Style Grille Insert

eBay is your friend. Sparks Parts has a hardware package that you'll need to convert to the newer surround.

 

I just saw this today in person.
Randomly saw a 2nd tundra at Costco, looked at the front and bam !! Awesomeness in person. They had the grill and raptor lights too. It just solidified my decision to go forward with it. Thanks for sharing this .

 

Just ordered my grill insert yesterday. Vendor quoted me $160 shipped to MD from the alibaba link provided in the thread.
Need to find a black/ silver surround still.

 

Did you ever get around to painting your grill?

I jsut found a 2013 chrome limited grill locally to me for $150 and trying to decide if its worth the trouble to paint over it lol.

 

Here's my contribution

 

How did you wire the lights? And also how did you route the harness? Thanks

 

Can you provide a photo from the corner a bit farther back? Trying to decide if I want teh black or chrome for my silver 07

 

Sure

 

Thanks! I think I may try and go with t chrome.

 

Well I got the grill inset today. Where do I get the Toyota badge from, I thought it would have came with it.

 

Mines came in a separate package. I was upset at first but once I emailed the seller, another packaged arrived

 

Rube207. Can I get the file to print myself? I just ordered 2 grilles of Amazon from different vendors. One was $125ish. One was $150ish. Both shipped from same location. Same grille go figure. I’m trying to decide if I want to upgrade to radiant red RW surround or chrome surround (10-13) to update my 07.

 

In both of my grille packages they came complete in one big box. The Toyota emblem was in a smaller box in the big box.

 

Any way you can link the grilles you bought from Amazon?

 

Got my grill installed last night. Bit concerned about how strong the bracket is for the hood latch, its pretty flimsy and flexes.
I screwed up and put the screw holders on and used the included screws instead of using the factory metal thredded pieces and teh new bolts from the sparks kit. The screw heads are smaller then the truck mounts, so I had to use some washers. Going to go buy some bigger screws though and should be ok.

Here is one. This was the $125 one. When I ordered several vendors had them. Now they look out of stock

this was the other one. Was listed around 170 but a 20% off coupon. Was around $150
Delivered
Both grilles exactly the same. Shipped from same location. California

 

This is the part number of both. I would guess you can search the number and find other vendors.

 

Does anyone know what happened to MC Auto Parts? I’m assuming they got a cease and desist.

 

I was going to keep one and send one back but If I can’t get another may have to store one away. Seems well built. Here’s a pic with the emblem zipped in place for picture

 

Oops. Here’s the picture

What's my option for the little slit above the grill. Mine is currently brushed aluminum. Is their a separate part. I want this to be black ABS plastic as well.

 

It looks like your grill is a 10-13 limited which would have been chrome with the surround later color matched. The valence in the front bumper appears matched as well. I didn’t see that as option in old brochures. So I would think the aluminum piece you are looking at can also be factory black. Maybe can swap out?

 

Looks like you’ve got an aftermarket billet grille, not the OEM limited grille. Nice that the surround is already color matched.

Have you tried removing the aluminum piece from the upper slot to see what’s behind it? You might have the OEM black plastic piece in there. I’m not sure that piece was available to purchase separate from the grille. It was in the early grille, but I’m not sure about the ‘10-‘13 grille.

 

Finally committed to doing this mod. Everyone’s info has been super helpful!

Picked up a used 2010 grill from Facebook marketplace for $30 and ordered the new pro style insert from Alibaba yesterday for $150 shipped to MD. Just need the grill kit from Sparks and I should be good to go.

I’m also waiting for new headlight fillers to arrive (broke both of mine while installing new headlights) then I’ll get the grill surround and fillers paint matched.

 

You will not regret it.

 

Hmmmm.... lol

 

Not a great picture, but such a great transformation! Many thanks to those who’ve shared their process.
