Just picked up my 2024 Tundra Limited OR in Lunar Rock and super stoked! For whatever reason, dealership added $99 chrome inserts on a blacked out grill
I’ve removed inserts on a painted surface with a hair dryer & plastic prying tool, but I’m worried this method will mar the plastic or worse. Any advice?

Use a plastic pry tool,where as it's brand new it'll come off easily with adhesive and all.
Welcome to the site and congrats on the new Rig man.

If you don't have a plastic one put duct tape or electrical tape over the end of a regular screw driver and yes use common sense when prying, so you don't scratch it.
