I'm a New 2nd Gen owner, help me out!

I'm a total Toyota guy. We have 6 in the 4 person family right now... I've had a Tundra since 06 and just got a 2011 and want to get it straightened out

I just bought a 2011 Double Cab SR5 5.7L 4wd to replace my 2006.

1) Can someone tell me how to get a black grill/surround. I don't want any chrome. Is there an OEM black grill I can just swap in and preferably a cheap aftermarket one? An exact link to one that would swap in would be awesome!! I found one aftermarket with amber lights in it that looks good, but the reviews say it is all jacked up when it comes to the hood release or something. If that wasn't the case I'd buy it in a minute. But I can't figure out if the one for the "sport" or the "rock warrior" will just swap out.

2) So I just found out my truck has those height adjustable/aimable headlights. It needs a new headlight assembly on one side, bad. The other was replaced after a deer collision recently. Do ANY of the cool aftermarket black headlight assemblies work with the adjustable feature? Or any of the cheap aftermarket regular replacement headlight assemblies, for that matter?

3) My HVAC selector knob appears to be haywire. When I turn the knob, the air does come from another area, but there seems to be no correlation between where the air is supposed to go and where it actually comes out. Any ideas on that?

Coming from a 1st gen to a 2nd gen, I like the power and the extra features, deeper bed, more space in back seat. I just got to learn this new truck.

And 1 more question. So about a year ago I bought a 2012 4Runner and put a 2" front spacer lift on it, it screwed up the caster and it drove like crap and I ended up taking the lift out on the advice of an excellent alignment guy. So how do I level out my 2011 Tundra without messing up the caster and front end geometry? the front end is an inch or two low for me.

A cheaper option is to scuff up the chrome and either paint it black or use a couple cans of spray on bedliner. I did the latter and I'm happy with how it turned out.
