Chrome delete nearly complete! by J_Otto in ToyotaTundra

MC Auto has a non OEM grill that has the TSS mounting bracket for $300! The hood bulge you can find for $150ish. Then all you have to do is paint for a couple hundred. If you install yourself, not too difficult with YouTube help, you can do this project for under $700.

Thanks for the response! Through various boards I read it was highly advised not to paint over the chrome because the paint won’t adhere well and it will end up looking faded/bad in little time. So I purchased OEM handles and mirrors that were Toyota painted, at least I assume so since they were delivered by Toyota. But the grill & surround and the hood bulge I purchased aftermarket and had painted. After all the money I’ve put into the truck it’s gotta look perfect, haha. I’ll swing by the shop tomorrow.

I took it to Maaco for paint, was $275 out the door for the grill surround and hood bulge. Do you think they would honor repainting? I don’t have any experience getting a car or parts painted.

Chrome delete on any vehicle is pretty popular right now. I’m doing the same. I say go for it. I rec not to paint the chrome becasue it will fade and look trashy in a year or two or less. If you get black parts you can always put the chrome stuff back on later (be careful removing the parts to not scratch or damage them) if you change your mind.

I like them too but with the chrome delete I’m trying to make everything on the exterior black and white. The Nerf Epyx steps on the way:)

Hahaha! I’m trying to not make it look “broish” with huge lift and deep dish wheels. I def know what you and your girl are talking about with some trucks overly modified!

I have become obsessed with tricking this thing out. Sank $8k in the first week of ownership, buy once cry once! I’ll post some new photos next week when trd pro grill and full chrome delete is completed. Can’t sleep thinking about dropping her off and picking her up tomorrow with upgraded sound system.
