    I just had my hood bulge painted, grill surround, and bumper caps painted Super white. Now I would like to replace the inner grill. Has anyone done this? Can’t seem to find a vendor who offers just the grill insert. Looking at the newer honeycomb style or TRD style. Thanks

    Unfortunately the grill insert cones with the surround. Keep an eye out as you will see honeycomb inserts FS by members who swapped or color matched the grill and changed the insert.

    How did you paint the chrome? Did you have a paint shop do it? How much did it cost, I think it looks great!

    I painted it myself with plast-dip. Took several tries but it’s pretty easy. Great thing with this product is if you mess up, you can start all over! To remove I used Goo gone and-my pressure washed to remove it. I suggest removing grill from car.

    So that's white plastic dip on the surround and good bulge? Did you use glossifyer?

    The white surround was painted by a professional painter, real paint. Only plasti dip is the middle black section. Badge was painted professionally
