    I posted this in the wrong section. Since I joined the forum and snooping around the many write-ups, I have decided to add a few upgrades. I ordered and installed the driver's side assist strap and charging a tray. I will be converting my 1794 front end to look like my 2018 platinum front end. I have received the bumper end caps, mirror caps, door handles that will be painted to match the truck color. Still waiting on my front grill (that Toyota has discontinued for the 2019 model) the 2020 grills look identical and are currently on backorder. Although the 2020 grill looks the same, they have changed the set-up for the TSS so the 2018/2019 TSS will not mount on 2020 grill. So now I am waiting on a grill to arrive and will install all at once. I received my remote start with the app so I can remotely start my truck with my cell or the keyfob and try to install that today. I want to thank everyone for the informative info that has been posted.

    Sweet truck man. What size tires are those and what did you do to get them to fit?

    Installed driver's side grab handle, phone charging tray, and the remote start. I can now start my truck with the factory keyfob and or my cell phone, and the truck will still run when unlocked, not like my factory one that shuts off every time I unlock the truck. I was hoping to install my platinum grill, unfortunately it was damaged in shipment (three tabs where broken).Charging tray.jpg Grab handle.jpg

    Finally received the second Platinum front grill that was undamaged. I will be swapping the front in the next few days, and I will post pics as I am doing the swap. Unfortunately, it isn't going to be as simple and as quick as I have hoped. The front bumper valance seems to be a pain in the behind. The whole bumper has to be taken off to get to the million screws and tabs that hold it. I have to take it off to get it painted to match my truck, along with my mirror caps, bumper end caps, and door handles. I just want them painted all at the same time from the same batch paint.

    I like the look of your truck. But, I do not want to go to that extreme. What light bar did you use to put inside the bulge?

    Ok, finally got my bumper end caps, valance, mirrors, and door handle back from my paint guy. Taking that valance off was easy but a royal pain.

    The two bumper end caps side by side, if you notice there is a slight difference in the fog light hole and I had to add a little extra security. lol

    The platinum grill is now installed on my 1794 along with the two panels below the lights. It seems like everyone is swapping to the TRD front grill and I wanted to be different. Honestly, I like the Platinum grill better than the TRD one. Front grill installed.jpg

    Here are a couple of photos showing painted mirror caps and door handles that match the truck color. What do you guys think?

    Outstanding. Thanks. another question. How do I find the grille surround in color or one to paint? I purchased the upper bludge in color. Trying to get rid of all the chrome like you did. And also would that platinum grille you installed fit on a 2015 1794? Thanks for helping!

    The cheapest was Toyota of cool springs. I think I paid only $338.00 they also had free shipping at that time. Now keep in mind depending on what model you have may have to order for another model truck. For example, mine is a 1794 and only grill availablebid the chrome, so I had to order a platinum grill. (It came painted). Keep in mind my the valance on a 2794 was grey, so I just painted mine to match (didn't feel it was worth spending another $100+). For the last part of your question, no you need a different grill. If you tell me the color you need I'll help you find it. I just looked at $232.59 your grill is $100.00 cheaper becuase you do not have the TSS sensor.

    @Sunset Beast, I am pretty sure this is the one you need, call to confirm the color and availability. https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.com/oem-parts/toyota-grille-assembly-531000c320e0?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9Z3JpbGxlLWFuZC1jb21wb25lbnRzJmw9MTImbj1Bc3NlbWJsaWVzIFBhZ2UmYT10b3lvdGEmbz10dW5kcmEmeT0yMDE1JnQ9cGxhdGludW0mZT01LTdsLXY4LWdhcw==

    PS. By the way, the black grill you asked about on the other thread that you didn't get an answer for is a Billet grill (you can get them in black, chrome, or black/chrome combined). I had one on my 17 platinum Tundra (mine was a blazing blue pearl).

    Great looking truck! I've got the same truck and planning roughly the same build out. I've got color-matched mirror caps on, platinum grill assembly on the way and looking for handles.

    Where did you find the color matched handles? Or did you get them painted?

    Thanks, Toyota of Corral Springs no longer sells them pre-painted, not sure if sparks does either. I had mirror, bumper end caps, door handles, and center bumper valance removed and painted.
