Performing a grille swap on your Toyota Tundra can be one of the simplest yet most impactful customizations you can do. Whether your current grille is damaged or you're simply looking for a fresh aesthetic, upgrading to the Tundra TRD Pro grille will give your truck a bolder, more rugged appearance. The TRD Pro grille comes in two distinct pieces—the lower main grille and the upper hood bulge trim.
Take a look at the image below for reference.
This particular grille is meticulously designed to match your truck’s factory paint codes. Before purchasing, make sure to double-check your vehicle's paint code, which can typically be found on a sticker located on the driver-side door jamb beneath a barcode. The code usually consists of a series of digits and possibly a letter, indicating your vehicle's exact paint shade.
