    Hey gang,

    I just bought my first truck today and it’s this 2018 TRD 4x4 Crewmax.

    First thing I’m going to do is get this grille replaced with the TRD pro grille/ and chrome delete all that ugly chrome around the grille.

    has anyone done this and been able to affordably match the colors of the top and bottom surround?

    Welcome from NC! The search function is your best friend and your worst friend for your wallet. To answer your question...yes. Color matched hood bulge, surround, valance and both rear and front bumper ends.

    Welcome!
    Did chrome delete on my 2018 recently. Hood bulge, surround, pro grill (sold the insert), and front OEM bumper replacements off Sparks. Steel rear bumper replacements off CarID (didnt want plastic). Had the bumpers painted at a local collision shop for $419. All total is was a little over $1300 but WELL worth it. It looks fine on my 79 Scout II, but chrome looks so out of place on newer vehicles imo.
