    Just picked up and installed the color matched TRD Pro grill and hood bump, ended up replacing the Pro grill insert with my stock one so as to keep the sensor that sits behind the T-badge. Next on the list are the color matching side mirror caps

    Welcome, nice truck. You sure got the color matched surround quick. You can probably easy sell the Pro insert since it will fit into any grille surround 2014 and up.

    Easy on everything but the wallet. I didn't much care for the cement color when it first came out ( I am a MGM guy). But it really does grow on you after awhile. Have seen a few vehicles painted and they sure look good on the road. May get the wife a taco in that color down the road.

    Nice truck !
    I personally think the new grill looks great.
    Take a lot of pictures and do a build thread.
    Congrats on a great truck!

    Not difficult at all, nothing broke, took off the screws on the back sides and used a small flathead screwdriver to help with the clips on the sides and bottom, just need to be patient

    Looks great bud like the color! I just picked up my 2018 SR5 Cement today from the dealership. Getting ready to order the cement hood buldge and grille. If you don't mind me asking which part numbers did you order and was there any difficulties switching out the from emblem ?

    So is this insert comming from a 2017? So I’m asumming it will all fit and bolt the same, since we’re just replacing the chrome and replacing it with the cement surrounding and keeping the honeycomb grill?
