    Also the grill in the recommended pic. That grill looks great on our trucks.

    Welcome to owning a Tundra!

    I am sure, within a few days, you'll have all sorts of new ways to spend your dollars thanks to this place.

    It is getting harder to find older pre-painted TRD Pro grilles without the TSS stuff.

    Grille & Components for 2017 Toyota Tundra | Sparks Parts

    But you can find the hood bulge.

    76180-0C030-B1 - Front Molding - Magnetic Gray 1G3 - 2014-2021 Toyota Tundra | Sparks Parts

    Back in early 2015, I had to buy a black one and have the surround painted MGM at a local shop.
    The TRD Pro in MGM didn't come out until late 2015 or 2016 I believe.
    Since I was doing that, I pulled the letters and had them painted to match.

    Thank you for the quick response I really appreciate it :D
    So if I got this grille https://qdcnct-autoparts.com/produc...DcnOsckq7BogT7X6VGL7D3WmrLn22L6BoCJyAQAvD_BwE

    And the hood bulge painted match

    76180-0C030-B1 - Front Molding - Magnetic Gray 1G3 - 2014-2021 Toyota Tundra | Sparks Parts

    There would be no chrome anymore ? I wouldn't mind the black grille and the hood bulge painted. I just don't want the chrome if I buy those two

    The quick response is I just got home from work..:eek2::cool:

    Yes it looks like that would solve the problem.
    My wife rolls her eyes when I do mods to the truck, but she did step back and say "That looks a lot better" after I did the grille and hood bulge swap.
    However, I also replaced the stock chrome halogen headlights with halogen TRD pro headlights.
    This was in early 2015..

    713A8B9C-FDF8-4EAE-B363-D750EB6E34E7_zps_8974aaed102cb248ae5024f52bf9f79723514a29.jpgCFCCAB9A-D0E9-44FE-8E36-44AB05E2D3F1_zps_b891e847c75cfe4cdf719fbe7338c91d1e383f4d.jpg

    Just for giggles the TRD Pro grille and matched hood bulge with stock headlights.

    You'll still have the chrome bumper ends, but that seems doable.
    I researched swapping the chrome bumper ends with OEM-painted resin years ago
    Although the parts and getting the resin ends painted locally was around $800.
    That didn't include the labor of swapping them.

    You can find info on that here.
    Roman doesn't sell online anymore, but there is a ton of upgrade and mod info in this thread..

    Ultimate OEM Toyota Parts Thread for 2nd gens (2007-21) | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

    This guy makes 'covers' for the chrome bumpers, but I haven't convinced myself to try them.
    With my borderline OCD, I'm not sure they would have the fit I want.
    He is a forum vendor.

    Chrome Delete Covers for Tundra Bumpers - BumperShellz | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

    As to my original post in your thread, the OEM LED headlights will make a world of difference.
    Not only in a physical appearance aspect but the light output over your stock halogens..
    Something to think about for the future..

    Warning:
    Being a member of this forum will cost you money spent on mods...:cool:
