    Hey everyone, I’m looking to swap out my limited grille for a 18 platinum or trd sport grille. Is there a difference between them? I really can’t tell and the price is the same. Just needing some super white to get rid of this nasty chrome.

    If you can't see a difference and they are the same price, does it really matter which one you get? Not trying to be a smarty, just wondering. I'd guess they are interchangable, both having TSS. I wonder the same thing about my Trd "sport" wheels looking the same as Platinum wheels.

    I agree, I like TRD Pro grille the best but going with one of these seems like an easier route. Still thinking it all over.

    One of the salesman when I bought truck said a co-worker had a new Tundra and leveled it. Said he had to do a Pro grill because the PCS would sometimes apply the brakes going under overpasses on the interstate. I kinda believe him because the sensor is mounted lower on the pro grill. Seems to make sense that if you raise the front, that the radar will be pointing more skyward.

    Did anyone ever confirm? Seems there is a possible variation in darkness and/or gloss between the two (2018+ sport vs. platinum).
