    I like the honeycomb grille. I think it's better than the chrome bars, or "gray" bars that the 14's have.

    I believe I will be in the market for one soon.

    I think it looks good. Need to see it in person to know for sure. Looks awesome with the cement color truck.

    You mean you cannot drive without a grille and hood bump? I see vehicles all the time driving around DFW with missing parts. I had one following me yesterday morning.

    It is unique and unmistakable as a Toyota Truck with the kick back to the FJ heritage. Not cereal boxes.

    Here's another spin on the 2018 Limited/1794 grille. I have it shown here with a Silver Sky painted surround. I picked it up slightly used on eBay. According to the box it shipped in, the original owner replaced it with a Pro grille. They left the original emblem on this grille I have now but took the TSS equipment off the back, so they must have found a way to retrofit it onto an older style grille.

    Did your mirror caps and door handles come from the factory like that or did you paint them? I just ordered the exact same truck and need to prepare myself to paint them or be stoked they are already painted. Very excited to get mine. Yours looks great.

    I like this and I think it looks better than the Honeycomb, but if I could find a honey comb grill with white surround I would probably go for it...

    Being new here; How could I buy just the surrounds, or do I have to get them painted? I'd prefer to buy the originals in the right color to ensure matched color.

    Also, is it possible to buy colored bumper end caps? White mirror and door handle caps? How do you guys do this?

    BTW - my favorite is the TRD Pro grill, but I don't know how it would affect the radar and such.

    I ordered them painted from Micah at Sparks Toyota in South Carolina. Just go to the Sparks parts website, and you can choose the painted mirror caps/door handles bundle purchase. Thanks so much for the compliment, and you will love yours when you get it.

    I was on the fence on whether or not it looked good and thought it may have been the pics, but then I saw it in person...and realized that I fell off the fence and landed on the "I hate it" side :p

    It would be an even bigger pain trying to scuff it up in prep to paint it a different color

    I’ve got an2018 Tundra Limited in Magnetic Grey. Maybe a really dumb question. How hard is it to swap out the chrome gril for the black honeycomb grill? And how much are they? Really digging it.

    Go to the dealership and check it out in person. I had one on order and liked it in pictures but canceled my order today and need to figure out a new plan of attack to delete the chrome.
