    Picked up a TRD Pro grille insert from NP-Motorsports. Turned out to be pretty decent quality.

    Sorry for the late reply but you have to buy the specific "amber" model. However, Schmidt appears to be running the non amber model. His dlr is white and the inner light is his turn signal. Could be wrong here, but that's my guess.

    The amber refers to the dlr not the turn signal.

    Beautiful truck!

    Is your bumper color matched to your truck from the factory or did you have it painted? Did you also color match the grille surround? Car paint or powder coat?

    Yeah. I masked off everything around the "TSS Sensor" and sprayed it with a couple light codes of Night Shades tinting spray.

    Finally got mine done and thought id share as i havent seen it on the slate gray yet with black surround.
    2008 Tundra. All 2010-13 grilles backordered. Found the black rock warrior one at an auto wreckers on a truck and got the mounts aswell. Got the grille and mounts for $80 CAD. Had to clean it up alot but totally worth it. Morimotos would certainly seal the deal... Before/After7B9D2402-A9F7-468B-A3B7-EDF7BA6B048D.jpg53E0F11A-75A7-4EF5-9981-338BAB67CD62.jpg

    Where did you buy the white grill surround? Or did you buy a chrome surround and have it color matched Super White?

    I figured.

    A bit slow & late to the game but really enjoying the fact there are so many options now which makes for finding the "right" one harder.

    Of the two options I prefer the insert. The sequoia grill looks bad ass but the gap at bottom the leaves a lot to be desired for me. I went with the insert but I also didn't have to color match anything because I'm already in a rock warrior.

    I totally agree about the Sequoia grill option. I love the look but that huge gap kills it for me. I thought about swapping to the Sequoia bumpers just to close that gap but the Sequoia bumpers are ugly.

    I just placed an order for the Rock Warrior Super White OEM grill through my dealership. I thought about ordering a chrome version and painting it Super White myself, but the cost of materials and time are very similar.

    I'll most likely order the shorter brackets and grill inserts through eBay.

    So, in total cost is around $400. Not liking the numbers but it is what it is.

    You're gonna love the look in the end and a few months down the road you won't even remember what you paid for everything. Every time you walk up to your rig it'll make you smile. And in a life where smiling matters that's money well spent IMHO.
