Color match is definitely the way to go, great choice and a great product. I’d do the lower valence too, I agree that it nicely breaks up the massive black grille.
So I ordered this. Except they’re out of the mgm color. Reached out to them to see if they had an estimated in stock date. Quick response back from them. Appreciated that. They offered a discount for the painted piece. Used your discount code already when I ordered. Long story short. They’re fans of yours over there. Great customer service there.
Lower valence is sick. Love the chrome delete. Non of them should come with chrome. It’s just not tasteful it’s gaudy. The fact that this product even exists should let Toyota know they shouldn’t do that chrome. Definitely an upgrade!
Yes to the valance mod. The only place the color seems like a mismatch is the panels next to the air intakes. I wouls like to see one for the blue to see how close it is.
Just did the exact thing on my 2023 trd off road. I had the bright chrome. What an improvement! Mine is midnight black so no need really for lower cover by the fog lights
Good job and nice solution! I really wish Toyota would just change the design. They need to understand that chrome isn't cool anymore, and tons of it is terrible.
Color match covers makes it look better. Chrome of any shade is no bueno! Plus the covers are a protective layer that can be damaged then replaced way cheaper than the OEM chrome.
I think the dark chrome looks good with the mgm. My truck is ag, and wondering how that might have looked if offered. But I have the brushed metal mustache, which doesn’t look great, imo. So I will be color matching and de- caroming when the parts come in. Your truck is looking great! I always like watching your vids. 👍
Great video. Looks sooo much better. Love every angle on the Tundra, but hate the oversized grill - always thought it looked like a big mouth catfish. Truck looks great now. Now, if they can just integrate the ipad on the dash to be more seemless and the late 80s Lincoln Towncar(ish) tail-lights, we're getting close to perfection.
Instead of the cover get some letters from Tuffskinz for the front Tundra on the valence and for the Toyota on the grille. I did that for my 2023 Limited (put on the heritage grille) and it looks great.
I hope you see this and can answer it. But I have the exact Platinum you have and I want to put the same size tires/lift. It looks like you are able to pull in your garage. Think you could measure your garage door hight for me? I want to know if I am going to be able to fit my truck in there before I pull the trigger. Awesome vids by the way. Most of them are about things I was already thinking of doing and your videos really help a lot.
Love all your videos, definitely preferred the dark chrome, mostly because it worked well with the mgm paint but also it just says platinum. Either way truck is killer.
Dude it was a hard decision. But I love supporting American business and wanted to showcase an option for those looking to color match their trucks as well.
Late to the party…. I’d leave the valence off. If I had your dark mustache on gray I’d be tempted to leave it alone. But…. If I was in the process of replacing the grille I would also replace the mustache with a color matching one too while everything was torn apart.
Color match is definitely the way to go, great choice and a great product. I’d do the lower valence too, I agree that it nicely breaks up the massive black grille.
That's definitely a cool product. Most Tundras need this!
That looks so much better. You should put on the lower valance to complete the look

Awesome to hear!! Sorry I’m so late at getting back to this comment!
The dark Chrome on your truck already looked way better than most Tundras! The color match looks good.
That it did. I really liked it with the grey

Lot's of votes for the center valance. More than I thought.
Agreed. Toyota (and all vehicles IMO) should have chrome as an option for extra, not standard. Matte black or color match should be default.
I had mine painted for this reason
No, I like the chrome , your opinion is your opinion, mine is mine, everyone is different
Definitely add the center section it improves the overall flow of the front end.
Looks great man, I would add the center piece. Make the grill look smaller.
Did you apply the "Painted-To-Match" or the "Acrylic" Shellz?
Yes to the valance mod. The only place the color seems like a mismatch is the panels next to the air intakes. I wouls like to see one for the blue to see how close it is.

That looks way better I'm sure
I'm curious what the difference between this one and AJT design’s cover. Looks like the same but less than a 1/3 the cost.
All pieces look awesome on your truck. Lower valence is the way to go I think.
Good job and nice solution! I really wish Toyota would just change the design.
They need to understand that chrome isn't cool anymore, and tons of it is terrible.
Color match looks a lot better. Lower valance color matched is a nice separation 👍🏻
Color match covers makes it look better. Chrome of any shade is no bueno!
Plus the covers are a protective layer that can be damaged then replaced way cheaper than the OEM chrome.
Heck ya man! Great point!
Game changer man! Looks great. Think the fog light valance would be a nice touch too.
I think so too! It’s hard to choose. Ugh!
@@TRDJonWould it be easy to remove the valance if you installed it and didn’t like it?
I'd need to heat it up and mess with it a little I bet.
Looks much much better.. I was never a fan of that mustache chrome thing.. 👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm reading some people are having excessive tire wear on the outside fronts on trd pro. Anyone having this issue?
I think that is why Toyota added upper control arms on the new TRT pro to help with alignment
@@TRDJon good to know. Thank you...
Put the lower valence on
You should add it too to give you the looks of sequoia
Looks much better! The improvement would be even better on other colours and the bright chrome
Completely agree. I wish I did this with my SR5 Tunda.
DO IT! That colour matched valance looks WAY better! Biggest problem I have with that truck is the grill looks way too big. Colour match fixes it.
It really does.
The grill itself is not to large but it doesn’t end, it just transitions into the bumper, and that is what makes the grill look too large.
Precisely@@timalan7406
Thanks for the discount code! Ordered rear bumper covers in mag gray!
Yessssss
I’m putting the same color on my Silver 1794 and heritage grill.
Didn't even get my truck yet and I ordered one of the lower covers in lunar. Have to break up all that black.

Thanks so much! So you have a limited. That's what they used for their install video and the results where great!
Great video. Looks sooo much better. Love every angle on the Tundra, but hate the oversized grill - always thought it looked like a big mouth catfish. Truck looks great now. Now, if they can just integrate the ipad on the dash to be more seemless and the late 80s Lincoln Towncar(ish) tail-lights, we're getting close to perfection.
I was wondering if a color match wrap would be a good option? I like the dark chrome surrond on the grey truck.
Couldn't go wrong with either imo.
Lower valance for sure. Seqouia looks so much better imo just for that reason.
Fair enough!
I say definitely put on the color matched valence. It’ll give it a unique look vs app the TRD PROs. Also, it breaks up all the black on the front end
How well do these overlays work in cold weather? Any issues with the 3M not sticking in colder weather?
Truck is looking sweet!
Thanks man!! I appreciate that!!
Will dirt get trap behind these parts? I imagine there is a tiny space behind them
I'd keep the fog light valance black. The rest looks great!
I like the look! Looks a lot better
Looks so good brother!! Adding it to the list! 😅
It's so good! Thanks bro!!!!
Can get color matched letter inserts for the tundra in the lower bumper I think that would look better
Hi Jon, did you go with the paint to match or the acrylic option?
Great video! I plan to order, BUT did you use the "Acrylic" or "Painted to Code?"
Instead of the cover get some letters from Tuffskinz for the front Tundra on the valence and for the Toyota on the grille. I did that for my 2023 Limited (put on the heritage grille) and it looks great.
Good idea! Tbh I have them in reflective camo and was thinkng that
@@TRDJon I put reflective camo inside on some of the piano black and it looks fantastic
LFG!!!!
Cover it. Toyota needs to get ride of the goofy angler budges, where the grill surround goes into the bumper.
How has those parts worn? Are they getting loose over time from road vibration or from washes?
Looks awesome man!
Thanks man! Have a great rest of your night.
How long did it take to for you to receive the products after ordering?
What's the exact color of my truck. I tried ordering but it feature 2 different type of metallic gray. What is the difference?
Looks sick
Heck ya bro. Thanks!

Thanks man! I am just shy on 7' I believe
Any of these match the grey on the limited grille ??
Ohhh not sure. A mag grey would be very close I feel
I was planning to wrap mine as these seem overly costly. Pros and cons on that?
I explained that in the video. It just depends on how much labor time you want to spend spend on your truck or have someone else spend on your truck
What a difference it looks awesome 👏
Thanks man!
How tall is your garage opening? 8’?
Looks great but I would have liked the dark chrome on my truck.
That looks fantastic!! Not sure about the valence. It looks good either way I think.
I think so too! It’s honestly a 50/50 toss up.
The dark chrome is what came on the truck? OEM?
Yes
I don’t like the color matched fog surround personally.
Great video! It looks awesome
Thanks!
If you ever take that cover off, the adhesive will pull off the black chrome.
Oh I bet bro. It’s on there for good.
Any issues with automatic car washes after installing these?
No idea. I don’t use those
Did you use the painted to match or the acrylic?
Looking for the same answer...
Will help protect your truck with rock chips etc
For sure
I like your platinum chrome stache...but definitely the valens would be sikk!
Good call!
Anyone that has these live in a snowy cold state? Concerned about water getting behind there then freezing and popping these off
Looks great.
Thanks!
Is the truck a hybrid or straight gasser?
Gas
Ouch $638 for MGM?
Was thinking of black wrap, own the big grill!
Hey dude, I know sold this but what was your long term thoughts on this product?
Solid! Still was sticking good when I sold it.
Lower black Look way better for me oem
Do you now have to baby the front of truck and be worried cover fell off it’s a $550 mod just for mustache only not cheap
Love all your videos, definitely preferred the dark chrome, mostly because it worked well with the mgm paint but also it just says platinum. Either way truck is killer.
Dude it was a hard decision. But I love supporting American business and wanted to showcase an option for those looking to color match their trucks as well.
Would of looked amazing if you had a white truck, ps break that black up on the front bumper it just doesn’t have a nice shape with all that black.
I had my chrome paint matched
Nice!
How does this hold up through car washes?
No idea. I don’t take my truck through them
Dark Chrome mustache looked better to me
Looks great 👌
Thanks 👍
Where can i order it don't see any website.
First link in the description
Wouldn’t it be better to just get it oem from Toyota ?
My concern is washing my truck will tape come off
Hasn’t
Won’t it fall off after a bit
I would go to a dealership and get it done professionally
We will see. But with the 3M adhesive all over this, I don't see it just falling off.
The price of these nearly make my eyes water
Now do the Fog Lamp Bezel/Lower Valance 😈
Dark chrome was nicer in my opinion.
Wasn’t horrible at all
Keep the dark chrome & im not a chrome guy
Like that🤙
Heck ya dude!!!!
Like it!
Glad you like it!
This product is awesome, but for my Tundra lunar rock color, they want $500.00, that’s pricey. Better off with a wrap.
I’m a little lost on cost effective, $500 seems like a rip off for plastic covers….
Price it out with a shop to take the truck apart, sand, and paint. Or even a wrap. It’s a bit more
First like g.
Legend!
Cover it up
Go with new valence on
Cover the chrome and use all the color match panels!!! Chrome is awful on modern vehicles!!!!
Plastidip. End video 🤣
Shooooot haha
I like chrome more
What’s the hatred with chrome these days. Chrome has been on pick up trucks since forever.
Color math just looks cleaner to some
So why this instead of painting the mustache?
Cheaper and easier
Late to the party…. I’d leave the valence off. If I had your dark mustache on gray I’d be tempted to leave it alone. But…. If I was in the process of replacing the grille I would also replace the mustache with a color matching one too while everything was torn apart.
Looks great!
