Anyone tried removing the 2 chrome bars on the upper grill?

No, that’s a factory SR5 bumper. No valance on it.

 

Dude, thanks a bunch for this thread. I actually just created one asking about this particular subject. I have a 2021 trd off road and the chrome gets on my nerves lmao

 

(Not the best photo because the grill is dirty) However I did black out the chrome bars on my 2020 4runner and front toyota emblem. I used painters tape and traced around them the best I could. It was tedious but not hard. Just plasti dip.

 

I was going to paint mine Matt Black, but then I found these on Amazon

The matt black color matches the Toyota logo perfectly, they just stick on over the chrome.



Someone needs to manufacture LED light bars to replace the 2 chrome strips in either White or Amber.

 

I picked these up on Ebay and they do magic. I was planning on Dipping it Matte Black but I decided just to whip our $25 and get the overlays so they will match my emblem overlays. I am actually very happy with them. Pictures can prove it too! Installed them back in 4/2/21 and they still hold well. From afar you can't even notice itand it just look black.

+1 Those stick on black out covers work perfectly, matches the Matt Black of the logo too. A lot easier than painting.
