2020 Sequoia TRD Pro Grill conversion

Ordered my grill and while I wait, I wanted to order this TRD emblem as well but want to make sure I get the right one. I'm very picky with quality, I want the best quality possible. I looked on google and there is a bunch of people making these but again I want to make sure I pick the right one. Any recommendations?

 

They're probably all the exact same item just sold under different brands. It's common with Chinese products. Just buy the cheapest one. That's what I did and it's fine.

 

Did yours come painted? I need one for a 2007 black tundra and have only been finding unpainted options whereas OEM is painted. Just can't seem to find anyone selling the oem without having to wait months for it.

 

Just finished my conversion

 

Looks great! Can you point me to the ebay seller?

 

Does not come painted and I did a complete repair and switched to the sequoia bumper and loghts

^^^^^This!!!

 

Yes sir, looks good.

 

let us know how it goes!

 

Just got a call from the Toyota dealership i ordered my grill from. He told me they were informed that i might not see this grill for 9 to 18 months. If anyone is selling or knows someone that is selling a white TRD Pro Sequoia grill please contact me. thank you.

 

Looks like there is none left on ebay sadly.

 

Looks like this vendor has it. https://goodmatchup.com/products/fr...-w-letters-matte-black?variant=43975026442480

Also found this add one on eBAY that shows as having 4 in stock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364207911339

 

Damn that looks incredible. I want the new sequoia so bad.

 

Thank you! ill check these out. I wonder how the quality is on these.

 

That is my question as well. Looks to be unpainted ABS plastic. I can't find what the OEM grill is made of. The OEM grill comes painted, so it looks better in pics than the aftermarket version. But The pic of Golem's ride looks great, so I think I will take the risk. I just am not sure how hard it would be to paint it with Toyota 202 Black and the best place to source the paint. The Insert only option posted by SocialExpedition looks nice, but the existing grill surround stays which makes it look a little less mean than the full replacement option.

 

just checked and they still have them for sale.

 

Any bodyshop can paint it for you.

 

Yeah I think I’m going to wait for the OEM one.

 

How much did you spend on the paint job, if you don't mind me asking?

 

I called a few dealers today for the OEM grill and they all said it is backordered nationwide and that due to the number of backorders, it is possible that even when the part does become available, they won't have enough to fill all orders. So I think I am going to go with the aftermarket options noted earlier in the thread. Are any paint experts in the forum with suggestions on the process of painting the aftermarket ABS plastic grill?

My truck is 202 black, so was planning on spraying with that color, then adding 1K clear coat. Do I need to prime, sand, etc at all in this process? 2K clear coat seems like a better fit for a grill, but am concerned about the hardening agent required and the robust respirator requirements since it contains an isocyanate hardener. I know I could go to a body shop, but I don't want this grill project to cost 1K+ when taking into account the cost of the grill, brackets, molding, etc.

I am hoping for the gloss to match that of the truck pain and not look dull or matte. Here is a pic from the thread showing the OEM grill along with it implemented on a truck similar to mine. Hoping to match these pics.

 

Very cool look. Hope it works.

 

My grille is showing up tomorrow! I was able to find a Toyota dealership that had some TRD Pro grilles left. They didn't have the color I wanted but since I didn't want to wait 18 months for a white one because of the backorder, I decided to just paint the one I got instead. Stoked to get this grille on! Thanks everyone for the help.

Ordered my grille from Anderson Toyota in Lake Havasu, California.

 

I just called them and unfortunately, they look to be on backorder again. I think I will have to go the aftermarket route, but will always wonder if I got an inferior product because of it.

 

Did you ask for any color?

 

The 2nd gen TRD pro is no longer in production and Toyota needs to keep in stock certain amount of replacement parts. Most likely the factory has been retooled to manufacture 3rd gen parts and likely won't be making 2nd gen grilles anymore due to sales volume. That's probably why it is so hard to get a hold of them nowadays.

 

Picked up my grill this morning from getting it color matched and installed it later after work. So stoked on how good it came out. Thank you everyone who helped me.

anyone bought a black trd pro grille lately? I'm looking for an OEM one and want to make sure I could get one

 

I was able to get what seems like the last one in California. I suggest calling all the Toyota dealerships you can to see if they have a grill available in any color and just pay someone to color match it.

I was told by Toyota that if a dealership doesn’t have them you will not be able to get one for about a year or so.

 

Does anyone know what lights fit this grille specifically? Wondering if these will work - https://shorturl.at/krJRS

 

Anyone know how I can find the seal that comes with the 2020 sequoia trd pro grill? Please help
