    I'm new to the site so forgive me if this is not properly posted. I have a 2015 Tundra. The outsde portion of the grill is chrome, the interior is gray. Something dripped down on the gray portiin so its stained. Two questions:Any idea on how to clean it...and I'm considering a chrome replacement. They offer a retrofit that I'm not fond of but wanted to hear from anyone that may have used one or replaced it with a chrome grill. Thx

    Tons of people have removed theirs. You can probably find one for cheap, maybe even free. Oh, and welcome to the site.

    Can you post a pic of your whole front end of your truck and then a picture of the stain on the grill?

    I'll try to post pics. Newbie still trying to figure it out. The truck has bever been thru a car wash nor with the exception a mild dish soap had and chemicals, wax or other treatments. I'm not sure how the stains got there. 1507237123526645647830.jpg 15072372413821735973973.jpg

    Where are you located? I'm just north of Atl. Shipping is running the cost up due to size.

    Wareaglesteve...we've had a good bit of rain. I use a relatively small amount of well diluted Dawn Dishwashing Soap. However rhe stains haven't gotten worse with each wash. Any idea what I might use to buff them out? Thank you for taking the time to reply.

    I'm in Oregon. I've got the exact same one sitting in the box my Pro grille came in. If you wanna pay for shipping you can have it. May be cheaper finding one on Craigslist though ;)
