    Plenty of ways depending on budget. Order replacement parts from @Roman
    Plastidip chrome parts.
    Vinyl wrap or powder coat bumper caps.
    Have it painted by a professional.

    Check out the white truck pic thread for ideas. Link in my sig.

    Color matched surround/bulge with TRD Pro grill insert would work.
    I'm having the same internal debate with my MGM, to dechrome or not. And if (when?) do I stick with the current grill or go with the Pro grill.

    There are those that like directtv and those that stick with MGM. Like people who like wet grocery bags, sit on gum or spilling coffee on themselves :rofl:

    That is where I started. I had to get rid of the lights too. Undecided on bumper caps. May go black. After seeing a used one on dealers lot with painted ends chipped up I have pretty much ruled out paint

    If you’re patient and persists you’ll run into a deal on a grill and hood budge. I see a few floating here and there. I slowly dechromed mine piece by piece.

    I bought a Platinum grill and bulge for $200.

    Then found a TRD pro grill insert for $100.

    Sold the platinum insert for $75.

    Then, I went to parts-geek and got plastic bumper ends for $150 for both and got them painted for $100.

    I choose to have mine painted locally. High end shop that stands behind their work, and has no issues painting the chrome. Done a few local Tundras as well. Dropped everything off today.

    I’m hopeful, they do it a lot. I kinda want my metal bumper corners, like them better than plastic.
