how involved is switching out chrome front grille for color matched? - TundraTalk.net

k9kato · 05-11-2008, 03:49 PM

just checking to see who has taken their chrome front bumper off and switched it over to a color matched one like sparks trd sells?

it would seem like a pretty simple switch. anyone who has done it care to chime in?

Takes 15min tops. All you need is a 10mm socket. 5 nuts under the top insert and 10 or 12 behind the grill. Very simple mod and well worth it to get rid of that awful chrome monstrosity. Add the color matched door handles and it's even nicer.

Super easy as mentioned. I went with black textured...
