- The quest to eliminate chrome continues! We are installing a color matched 2021 magnetic grey TRD Pro Grille and hood bulge onto our shop truck.
We'll walk you through the entire process to hopefully make your swap as easy as possible!

Imo this is a must to mod. Makes it look so much better
Absolutely! Couldn't agree more
Doing this exact mod, very helpful video..thank you!
Watching this video reinforce my belief that grill covers are a way better and cheaper option
Thank you for this Sir. I need to replace my grille, left front bumper, and passenger mirror, but have no clue where to begin. Your video has helped tremendously. Great job!
Glad to hear that it helped out!
That truck looks awesome
Planning to do something like that on my 2016 tundra
You should! It's been one of the biggest single visual changes to the truck for sure.
There's a company called AJT Design that makes a TSS sensor relocation bracket for $50 that is supposed to re-position the sensor so it still functions with aftermarket sensor covers. I haven't tried it yet but just letting you know. 👍
Appreciate the reply! We did end up getting it figured out by going to a different sensor garnish. As for that bracket directly it's really cool! However, it's for moving the sensor on a grille that wasn't initially built to support a TSS sensor. Fortunately for us the '21 grille that we picked up already had a spot for our sensor. It just couldn't see through the first garnish we picked up!
could you please list the materials needed to do this
I prefer the oem crome on my black Tundra it gives it a classy look easier to clean.
There's definitely folks that love their chrome! Can't take that away from ya! We prefer the color match most of the time over here though when we can.
Incredibly helpful video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting us know!
Thanks for the vid. My mgm bulge and trd pro grille are coming in the mail!
Glad to hear that it helped!
What website did you buy from? TIA
@@dariohernandez8953 sparks Toyota I believe. Or possibly south Dade Toyota of Dade FL. They have better shipping rates and sometimes discount codes to apply.
did you find a better version of the garnish?
We did! Not sure if this link will work for you, but we purchased this one and it addressed our issue.

Looks much better!
Awesome video and thank you. I know it's about a year later but did you get the pre collision sorted out? If it's in another video I apologize I just found your content. Be safe and be blessed!
Yes I did. I purchased a different TSS sensor cover and it has worked flawlessly since! I would link you to it, but the listing that I used is now gone.
yeah, that grill is sweet!!!!!
Absolutely love it. Thank you!
So why are these so much cheaper than Sparks Parts? Just for the sensor cover is over $300 and they’re charging over a $1k for the rear bumper covers.
And any updates on the sensor cover?
I'm terribly sorry that I didn't see this. I have no idea why the OEM sensor covers are so expensive. We had to purchase a couple to get it right, but so far a couple of years later no issues!
great video. where did you get the sensor garnish (cover)
I have a 2021 tundra trial edition. I know the TRD Pro Grille will fit, but my question is will I need to order a new sensor cover? Or can I use my existing sensor and transfer it to the TRD Pro Grille?
You will almost assuredly need a new sensor cover. As far as I know all OEM grilles that are not the TRD pro version have a round sensor cover. The TRD Pro is the only one with a rectangular cover I believe.
Would the 2018+ honeycomb grille fit a 2015 SR5?
Yes. The only time you run into issues is that if you would be trying to go the other direction (Ex installing a 2015 grille on a 2018). The older trucks didn't have the TSS radar system so installing one of them on a newer truck leaves no place for the radar sensor to go.
@@hotshotoffroad so a 2018-21 grill and bulge would fit a 2014?
Yes it would. The bulges are exactly the same. The grilles will have a cutout for the TSS sensor on the 18+ that you'll need to find a cover for, but the mounting points and shape are the same.
@@hotshotoffroad awesome. Thanks so much!!
Where can I order the grill?
I cant find a senor cover that works for my truck. Which one did you end up finding?
We found this one on ebay and it has worked well for us.

I’m looking for the same kind of grill but with the gloss black finish on the bottom. I noticed where you got yours from is currently charging $600+ for grills. Any idea where I can get one with the gloss black finish? Any help I’d appreciated.
I think that for a painted one you're likely going to be hanging out around that $600 mark. If you want only the lower section you might be able to scratch off about $200, but I don't know many who do that. It might be worth reaching out to/googling Sparks parts as they're known for selling OEM painted parts.
Would we have this sensor issue on a 2016 ?
None at all. A 2016 doesn’t even have the sensor to be an issue. Model year 2018 would be the first year for sensor considerations.
Thank you!
Where did you purchase your components and how much ?
We purchased from www.paintedoemparts.com . I don't want to speak on pricing as market pricing fluctuates around, but I have no problem giving the thumbs-up for their work.
Did you get the PCS sensor working?
We did! Found a different aftermarket sensor cover and it worked like a charm.
What’s the website you got this from?
Picked it all up from www.paintedoemparts.com/ . Been very happy with their work!
Would that new grille fit my 2019 tundra limited?
It sure would! Nothing special would need to be done. The swap would be the same as ours was here!
@@hotshotoffroad thank you
Would this fit a 2020 SR5?
Yes it sure would! No problem at all
I lije the original better
