TRD PRO GRILLE LETTERS

Does anyone who owns a TRD PRO GRILLE for the new Tacoma have Silver letters? I bought mine today and it does but I could have sworn I'd seen them black from the factory.

Thanks!

 

Silver here

 

Ah, thank you. I guess I was looking at Tundras or something.

 

All the new TRD Pro grills come from factory with silver letters. A few members on here have painted their letters

 

Yeah they are a silver/dark grey. That being said, some people here have painted the letters black so that may be it.

Edit: ^^ beat me by 1min

I have seen the letters painted white, black and quick sand ... and seen one member who plasti dipped the entire new grill

 

Welcome

 

They come from the factory silver.. I ended up popping mine off and I painted them black but then I decided to color match them to
My truck

 

Silver here too

 

I dipped the whole thing, and then did the "TOYOTA" letters a Dark Gray. I didn't like that shiny black plastic look. Prefer a matte black, plus I figured the dip would maybe add a little extra protection.

 

Can someone tell me how the Letters are removed so i don't damage them? Each Letter has a two plus + looking stem on back so does it push out or screw out?

 

Nice! I'll be doing the same and will be adding some amber led accent lights to my grill.

 

I was about to tag you !

 

Yeah that will definitely look good man! Post pics up when you finish

 

i want to paint my pro grille letters. would you guys recommend scuffing them up a little and priming? or can i just spray a couple coats of the basecoat and clear coat? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

First I removed letters from grill. Then I scuffed up the letters then cleaned letters with alcohol. I painted the letters quicksand.

 

is it pretty easy to take off and re-apply? is there some adhesive i need to use?

 

Letters are held in place with double sided foam. May want to heat up a little before removing. Use a flat tool to gently remove letters. I used a automotive adhesive when placing letters back on.

 

I color matched mine as well!

 

@rrentrop also makes decals in color-matched options which is a lot easier than painting IMO. He does great works. I haven't heard of anyone unhappy with his products
