Blackout options front grille

What options do I have to black out the chrome strips on either side of the Toyota emblem?

 

If you dont like them I believe you can remove them all together. Or at least remove, wet sand, and paint them. Many people just pastidip them for a quick and easy solution.

 

I wrapped them with vinyl

 

Why worry about them as long as you have that great big silver plastic bumper cover staring out at you?

 

I’m getting ready to have them painted. I just bought the thing

 

Sorry, I just had to say it. It’ll look great.

 

I’m with you, I don’t know why they did the silver bumpers....

 

I actually ordered the identical strips in black chrome for a 2020 4Runner nightshade. I’m going to install them on my 2020 Venture. I’ll post after install. I think it may be a good solution, and inexpensive. Idk why Toyota blacked out everything and went with the chrome on the Grille.

 

Where did you order them from and what are they called exactly?

 

I ordered them online from McGeorgetoyota.com Just enter your vehicle info as a 2020 4runner nightshade and go to grille parts. You will see the front grille diagram there. I can post the part numbers and a pic later today if you are interested. They cost 29.00 ea. I just received them, I think they will look good without having to wrap or paint.

 

Plasti-Dip works just fine.

 

Do you just tape it off and spray it or do they pop off easy?

 

They're very easy to remove and paint, plasti-dip, or vinyl wrap. Two screws on either side(4 total) and a nice, easy-to-break tab in the middle of each one. I just did spray can plasti-dip, ~5-6 coats, and it turned out well. Three months in and just over 10K miles now, and no chips.

You'll need to open the hood to access the screws, but nothing else needs to be moved or removed.

 

Great info, Thank you!

 

Not done yet, 6 more weeks and black headlights should show up

 

Photos for comparison. They are not deep black or matte black. Best description is black chrome.

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

I've got one available for sale if needed.

 

One what?

 

One of the 2020 grilles...

 

Took me a while to get around to doing this, but here is the Grille with the nightshade moldings that replaced the chrome. It’s just one more option.

 

Nice!

 

Guess i shoulda waited on oem. Chinese knockoff is out now. I heard the bugs avoid it due to the covid origin

 

Bought this set month ago at eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Toyota...-Trims/274442692750?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT for $25.00. Very happy.

 

Good deal! Can you post a pic of the install?

 

Heritage grill FTW - makes it look so much better!

 

Would Vinyl wrap be an alternate of paint?

 

looks good!

 

Thank you.
