    Before and after pics of swapping out door handles to color match, removing chrome grille and installing TRD pro grille. Also swapped chrome mirror caps to color match and completely debadged except for the limited emblem which I made black.
    What you guys think?
    What should I do next?

    Looks great! Next step for me would be color match the front bumper ends and black out the wheels.

    I didn’t touch the back bumper, it’s the stock 19’ limited one.

    Looks fantastic!

    Consider Bumpershellz? Here they are on mine for the front. Preprinted in black. $115 for the set. They use 3m tape only on a small section and the rest is bolt on. Made a huge difference in appearance.

    Did you go with the color matched or are they the matte black? My truck is considered “attitude black” and i didn’t see that on their website.

    I went with what they had in Black. Mine is the 202 black. Perfect match. I have the attitude pro grill with the speckles I got here and that Looks fine to me. My degree of fussiness can be bought to some extent.

    Yea i think the difference is minimal and not even noticed unless you really were trying to find it. Thanks for the advice, I’ll be purchasing them. What site did you buy through?

    Looks great. I did the same to my cement '19 limited, and saved the front bumper caps for last. Definitely color match those as well. That was icing on the cake, really made a big difference.

    I bought them on their website direct. They fit well. I pulled my sensors and installed the trim over. The fit is snug and you cannot tell they are a cover. LOL from Cancun as we speak

    You had that done locally? What kind of price should I be looking at to have my wheels done?

    I just had my 20" powder coated which cost $400. Might be different where you are though. Need to have the tires dismounted and then mounted/balanced.

    Matte black bumpers on a gloss black truck.. perfect!

    This thread is making me want to go de-badge my 2012. Thinking about taking all the emblems on the side off except for “Tundra.”

    How'd you go about this? In this dilemma currently. Either have my chrome ones painted (costly to remove chrome), purchase prepainted from Sparks Parts, or purchase from Toyota of Cool Springs (white) and have them painted at a local shop. First being my primary choice as I can't fathom purchasing parts I already have.

    I purchased color matched covers from a group buy on here. Link below. They are bolted and 3M taped over top the chrome ends. Great quality.
