    I've hunted through the forum, I've checked the links, I'm still hopeless. At this point, I don't care if its OEM. I'm just looking to update the "face" to a TRD style grill with a paint matched surround. I can have it painted locally, but would rather just cut a check and it appear on my doorstep in a week or so. I've attached a snippet of what the goal is.

    Can someone shoot me a link to what I need?

    That's because Cool Parts doesn't do parts anymore so they're no longer cool.

    So you need the part number for that older style grille and the hood bulge in MGM color code?

    What would be needed for the front sensor? I have a 2018 with the front TSS sensor I believe and looking to do the same, I found a grill send up on spark's but doesn't seem to have the front sensor location. Sorry I'm very new to the tundras, first time tundra owner.

    Is this the grill that you are looking at?

    So there are 2 different Pro grilles and either one can be used. The one like I have is listed for the 2014-17. It uses a bracket mount made by AJT and is only for that style grill. https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/online-store/TSS-Relocation-Bracket-10052B-p194252238

    There is a newer style Pro grille (black truck) listed for the 18-21. This grill has the sensor mounted to the front of the grill with a cover (known as a garnish) over it. Which grille are you looking at before we get into the additional info needed?

    That grille will fit yours. You just need the AJT bracket. I'll send you a PM. That red truck is mine.

    I have been looking for just the grille itself. I search TRD Pro Grille and I get Platinum grilles instead. What did you search? Thanks!

    I don't think the Pro grill comes in VooDoo Blue. Which style are you looking for? The bulge comes in that color but not the Pro grille.

    I just want to replace the insert if possible. Is it possible to remove the insert from one of these parts and install it on my tundra?

    I have your info. The older style like mine doesn't come in VooDoo. The new style does, but it will also require the sensor garnish which is another $340 added to the cost.

    You can but you have to be very careful with the clips. Which style insert are you wanting?

    They are both Pro. There are 2 styles. The one on the black truck will require the additional garnish that is $340. The one on the red truck requires a relocation kit which is $50.

    Ok the black on is the new style. That silver looking printed cover in the bottom center is the garnish. Your sensor will mount in that spot and then that garnish covers it. You can get an aftermarket garnish cheap but most people have issues with them not working and giving sensor errors. The Toyota garnish is $340. My grill has a different kit being the grill that mounts to the radiator support.
