    hello everyone! I am new to the site . I have been searching through the site and have been seeing lots of nice looking grilles on here , I want to do something different with mine but I don’t want it to look stupid . I have pretty much a base model 2017 tundra with 8ft bed . The only changes I have made so far is added tint to my windows , tonneau cover and most recently added a set of Rock Warriors.So my questions is does anyone have any suggestions for me ? I do like the idea of being color matched tho. Thanks for reading !

    I was just looking at those ! Do you think it would look weird with the bottom of my bumper being a different color though?

    I put a color-matched surround on mine over the weekend and couldn't be happier!
    I think it would look good on yours too since your bumper is all black.20180818_163915.jpg

    Thank you.
    Those chrome end caps are next on the list of color matched parts.

    Well, what you can do is a Craigslist search and maybe someone has the center piece from the PRO for sale, or check on here on the BST Thread, maybe someone has

    I haven't decided yet, I thought about having them coated in bedliner for durability until I get a real bumper.

    I actually like your grille. I think it would look better if the surround was color-matched and if the logo was blacked out. But I think the grille looks good. It's simple. Maybe just plastidip or paint the surround, bulge and logo black to match the truck?
