i know i previously said mine wasn't offensively blingy, but i ended up blacking the original grille anyway. clipped the (still chromed) toyota and V8 badges back in there, and it looks much better now. i'm not positive that i scuffed it down enough, so if it needs a respray later, i'm not opposed to color matching it (though that would probably need a respray to the whole front third of the truck for it to look good)
I have a silver 4runner that I plasti dipped my handles and emblems then decided to pull my spoiler and painted it flat black as well as my grille turned out decent enough..your grille look great 👍
This turned out awesome!! Well done @CanadianGearhead 👍 Wait!!! Do you still have the stock grill?! Paint on mine is toast and I’m not very far from you lol
The hood gap looks nice and tight, is this due to the middleman seller checking for fitment or due to the specific brand? I've seen a few of these installs where theres a big gap around the top. Seeing yours, it gives me incentive to do mine now. Thanks
Use code GEARHEAD for 10% a TRD Pro style grille at www.trailrunnercustoms.com/ and Andrew will get you looked after!

Thanks, I'm pleased with it!
Paint match came out pretty nice
Thanks, I'm happy with it
That shadow mica is timeless 👍
I agree, it's pretty cool how it changes based on lighting!

Thanks! I still have it but I'll be keeping it in case I decide to return to stock some day
Understandable 😁👍 I would too lol
Thank you for all the videos! Inspiring me to tackle more jobs on my shadow mica ‘06 V8.
I don't have that kind of patience. I sprayed my bumpers and grills with truck bed liner and called it good.
That's one way to do it lol

Yeah it could be a quality control thing but I also think my bug deflector might be helping with the fit
i might end up doing it so i can do my lower headlight filler too. will take your advice and get quotes first though. nice content!
Thanks for watching!
For doing it yourself with no expertise you did a fantastic job.
Thanks Gonzo!
