    I just bought the regular honeycomb grille and surround, it was almost $300 cheaper than the Pro grille. Plus once you get the Pro grille, you'll have to buy the TSS sensor trim too. It turns into a $1k upgrade real fast, and I just didn't care enough for the Pro grille to spend that much.

    These are the exact part numbers I ordered:

    76180-0C030-J2 Hood Molding
    53101-0C031-J1 Grille Sub Assembly Rad

    Solid! Thanks, man! Yeah I went on sparks parts, and the entire grill with the sensor cover is $1100, but you have to buy everything. I just want to get the hood bulge, and the other surrounding piece. This is helpful!

    Sure hoping for that collector thing. The Cav Blue with some options is a real eye catcher (I'm a little biased).

    TRD rear sway bar is so so so worth it.

    I don't understand why Toyota didn't put a small sway bar in all the trucks.

    When I take any turn, after the rear sway bar got installed, the truck feels half as big while cornering.

    On the freeway when turning, it feels like the truck is at least 8-9 feet shorter in length.
    Mid corner, the truck feels so stable and turned in all tight and flat.

    Its really worth it.

    So I went ahead and ordered the Calvary Blue color matched TRD Pro Grill, and had it installed yesterday. It's looking pretty awesome - I think. For some reason the color of the grill and hood bulge are somewhat different than the rest of the truck (as you can see from the pic under the headlights), but I think I can live with it... Not sure why it's slightly different though...

    Welcome from Alabama!
    I see the "de-chroming" bug has bitten...
    I replaced my grill and bulge also. Yes there is a slight color difference initially, but I feel like it has faded over time.
    Good luck!:spending:

    Thank you! Yes, the de-chroming bug has definitely bitten! Next project are the bumper end caps! Great to know the color difference may fade a bit. I figured the difference was my truck is a bit older and probably a bit faded compared to the brand new grille.

    Mine is a little off too. Just the way it goes with something that was painted at a different time than the truck I suppose.
    The black bulge and surround was off on my last tundra too.

    @Squatting Pigeon by the way, I went back nd looked at your wheels and tires on your build thread. I really like KO2s, and your wheels. Curious how the K02s impacted your gas mileage?

    Oh it's hard to say, because I already had a fair amount of weight and wind resistance on the truck when the tires went on.
    I definitely took hit. I am sitting in the 12 MPG area right now, and I think stock I was getting what the sticker said (15/17).
    Not sure how much of that 3/5 MPG drop is the tires, and how much are my accessories.
