    Dozens, if not hundreds have done something similar. Try this in the Googleland search:

    Been looking for a photo, of a white 4runner. But cant seem to find it. All I see is the Pro Grills.

    There's plenty of photos of a white 4Runner with a matte black Pro grille...wouldn't that give you a pretty good idea, even if it's without the Toyota sombrero?

    I've got a bumper shellz cover that I am putting on Friday and will be posting pics in their thread. They only list it as SR5 compatible but I told them it should fit TRD Offroads as well. I ordered matte black and dry fit was good, just need to clean the 4runner before I stick it on.

    Thanks for posting that product. I was looking for something like that for awhile and gave up. I tried to vinyl wrap myself and turned out “poorly” so I ripped it off.

    No problem. I searched too for a long time a couple of years ago and quit. The only solutions I found were to replace with pro grill (which is either expensive or poorly made and everyone does it) or wrap it. These guys joined the forum a month or so ago and were trying to get official vendor status - they've been making tundra and tacoma products and are branching out into 4runner stuff. Here's a link:

    Very nice. I did order one. How was the tape it came with? Seem to install well? Didn’t need any additional?

    There wasn't as much tape as I expected but it seems to stick well. I'll keep checking it and if it starts to come loose I will add more. It came with some 3M adhesion promoter as well.

    The fit isn't 100% perfect but is as good as I expected. If you zoom in closely on my picture you can see small gaps on the sides and just under the sombrero. Overall I'm happy with it.

    This looks great, and exactly what I was looking for. Im guessing this would be better, then plasti dipping it.
