    Hello fellow Tundra owners! I'm from Houston, Texas and I purchased my second Toyota Tundra last weekend. It is a 2016 Platinum Tundra with low miles and I must say it is impressive! My immediate plan is to replace the Platinum grille with a TRD Pro grille. I assume this is very easy but would appreciate it if any of you that have done this can help me to avoid making any mistakes.

    My first Tundra was a 2002 SR5 with the TRD Off-Road package that I bought new. This was the best vehicle that I have ever owned. I drove it for 16 years and 9 months and it was sad seeing it go, but it is still in the family as my daughter and her husband are the proud new owners and caretakers.

    Welcome!

    2014-2017 Pro Grille, easy, buy it in your color surround, direct swap

    2019 Pro Grille, not easy, buy it in one of the 3 surround colors it comes in. Get the surround paint matched or transplant the middle honeycomb part, it is not sold by itself. There is a rectangular gap underneath the Toyota letters for the safety sensor. Either no cover, DIY cover, $$$ Toyota cover, or ARES matched honeycomb cover (best looking imo)
