    Not sure if this will really qualify as a build, as I had a lot done before I picked it up. Plan on adding some mods/ upgrades over the next few months but thought I would share what’s up so far with some before and current pics.

    @06tacomadc Found the Heritage matte bronze wheels at sparks...really love the look you achieved with those. I have a 2019 SM 1794 and am planning on same wheel...curious if you got on Sparks or elsewhere? Freight seems pretty high through SP so I figured I'd see if you found a better avenue.

    I did get them through a dealership, not sparks, and picked them up.
    They do come up for sale once in a while as take offs

    Glad this got bumped. Have the same truck, but color matched the nose, ears, and handles. Really love the bronze wheels, but I'll be going a different direction when I'm due for tires. Very nice truck.

    Did you buy the parts and have them painted? I would love to color match front and door handles

    I have been lazy on this one as I’ve been working on my 40.
    Next up will be auto BT maybe upgrade sound system. Would like to have individual fog lights switch, not sure about how to do that hack?
    May do grill lights.

    Sparks Parts did them for me. It isn't perfectly sensible for everyone - they're not cost practical:
    Select Parts Category - 2020 Toyota Tundra | Sparks Parts
    PKKITCRSE Tundra Smart Entry Handle Kit - Crewmax Color: 4X4 - Smoked Mesquite $649.30
    PKTUNFR 3rd Gen Tundra Front Paintable Bumper End Caps Color: 4X4 - Smoked Mesquite; Sensor Holes: WS - With Sensor Holes $518.62
    PKTUN Mirror Caps Color: 4X4 Smoked Mesquite $175.56

    Those bumper end caps are resin, not metal; and the clips to secure the splash guards/dressings in the wheel well don't fit the same as with the metal end caps, but editing all of that is doable. Door handle prices are hard to swallow, but changing them is pie. Same with the mirror caps.

    Looks great!
    So on the bumper ends do you go over the chrome or remove them
    I looked them up on the link you provided and didn’t see for a 21 as well as the color or did they paint them for you meaning sparks?

    I replaced instead of covered. After research, I was reluctant to do the covers, which some folks had sketchy reviews for. One guy I read during research went to a chrome plating company near him (or maybe his friend worked there?), and had the chrome removed from his steel end caps, and then had them painted to match. That is likely the very best you could do...

    Sparks or your local shop should be able to advise you better on whether their resin (but still OEM) caps will fit your '21, but I'm pretty sure they will. If they don't list the paint as 'Smoked Mesquite', they may list the paint code, which is 4x4.

    I would recommend getting all parts you want color matched and take to paint shop at same time. Should be cheaper than Sparks.

    I replaced the chrome bumper end caps with the toyota resin parts, took whole front bumper off and had painted for $250. Would imagine getting end caps, mirror caps, and door handles would be about the same cost.

    I got the color matched grille and hood scoop from an online dealership (went with cheapest after shipping).

    just figured out the color matched part number and google searched different dealership pricing

    These are the part numbers for the smoked mesquite:

    Hood bulge - 76180-0C030-E3

    Platinum grille - 53101-0C040-E0

    not sure if the pro grille will come in prepainted smoked mesquite tho…

    i just googled the part numbers and went with cheapest dealership (after shipping included)
