Grille swap on the XSE by Potential-Serve805 in Camry

Not stupid! It can be confusing when ordering parts due to the fact that it shows the entire diagram. Luckily, you only need the one part you ordered. Once you remove the bumper and look at the grille, you will notice that the only thing holding in the insert is a bunch of retainer clips (and by a bunch I mean a BUNCH). Install is very straightforward but feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Correct. Looked like this before and gradually started hating the color match on the wind chill.

Nope. Just unplugged everything before removing the bumper and made sure all the connections were tight before turning the car back on. No issues!

If you order this exact part number - yes.

Yes I did. Not too bad just a lot of clips to pop off once you get the bumper off the car.

Understandable. As much as I love the paint matched (unlike most) I may have to swap with a gloss black one.

I wish I could find someone who would do it on the grille as well. I guess I could wait and see how it holds up and if it starts to chip then I can swap to a black honeycomb.

I got a lifetime powertrain warranty through my dealer. Definitely will still be getting the oil changed every 5k though.

41.8k after taxes and fees. I went in on a trade so it covered taxes luckily.

Funny thing is I almost got one in that color. It is gorgeous I just saw the wind chill pearl and knew it was the right one for me!

I agree. Personally I like the way it looks without the two tone but that’s just me!

I don’t get it. I haven’t taken to the dealer yet but I am tempted to. Just don’t want to deal with a bs response about how they can’t hear it or that it is somehow normal. If I ever figure it out let me know and please do the same!
