    Looks nice. I like the new grill but I would have rocked with the stock surround and caps. Cool truck.

    I kind of like the chrome but the grill is much improved. I am not a fan of the stock grill and that is top of my list to get rid of. Wheels look great too!

    i bought the plastic end caps and then bought the paint from https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

    I did the painting on my own as a project. It came out really nice. I believe you can also buy the painted end caps. I still have the chrome ones in my garage and hope to sell them.

    let me know if you need any part numbers if you plan to paint on your own.

    I bought a 2019 TRD pro grill in platinum white and a 2018 TRD pro grill in cement. Then I swapped the surrounds and kept the 2019 grill with the cement surround. I sold the white pro grill on marketplace. I bought a hood bulge from local Toyota dealer in cement grey.

    How was the fit of the bumper end caps? Looks very nice. I'm right behind you doing the same thing.

    The bumper end caps fit just fine. I had to relocate the radar sensors to the new bumper ends.
